AC Milan chief Leonardo open Chelsea talks

AC Milan chief Leonardo is entering talks with Chelsea this week about a deal for Tiemoue Bakayoko. Despite, the poor start to his season-long loan, Leonardo wants to negotiate terms for January in order to buy the player outright. Bakayoko's deal carries a €38m option, though Leonardo hopes to talk down that price with his Chelsea counterparts. For his part, Bakayoko is eager to see a deal done.
