An eventful year between Bakayoko and Milan comes to an end, as the club have decided not to pick up the purchase option for the player. The player has confirmed this himself to L'Equipe: "I'll leave Milan and return to Chelsea, I don't have a choice. I have three years left in my contract with the Blues, for now it is the best project but we will evaluate other proposals. I still don't have certainty on what will happen."
"Gattuso? The relationship was tense, we didn't get along very well. But in the end we were both very concentrated on the objective of reaching the Champions League, even though we didn't achieve it. The controversy after Milan-Bologna? It is difficult to hear things said, knowing that they are false, it didn't all go as reported. But we know how the current world is, I hold no grudge."
