Foreign media reported that London's "Chelsea" club has reached an agreement with "Monaco" for the acquisition of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
It is said that the "Blues" have been negotiating intensively with "Monaco" in recent days and have finally reached an agreement - the 22-year-old footballer will be allowed to leave after paying 40 million euros.
T. Bakayoko, like the entire "Monaco" team, became a real discovery this season, and the French midfielder, who plays as a defensive midfielder, was one of Antonio Conte's priority signings this summer.
"Monaco" wanted to involve "Chelsea" striker Michy Batshuayi in these negotiations, but the "Blues" refused to include the Belgian in the deal, and at least in the T. Bakayoko deal, the striker will definitely not be included.
T. Bakayoko arrived at "Monaco" in 2014. Last season, the defensive midfielder played 51 matches for the French champions and scored three goals.
