Napoli to release Bakayoko
Napoli have decided not to purchase Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea, so a return to France is possible for PSG or Lyon.
The 26-year-old is only under contract with Chelsea until June 2022, having been purchased from Monaco for €40m back in 2017.
He barely played with the Blues jersey, going out on a series of less than stellar loan spells at Milan, Monaco and Napoli.

Footmercato maintain a return to France could be his next step, with PSG and Olympique Lyonnais interested.
