Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is undergoing his medical checks with Napoli ahead of his loan move to the San Paolo.

The Frenchman, a former Milan loanee, according to Football Italia, landed in Roma this morning and was taken straight to Villa Stuart Clinic to begin his medical checks with the Azzurri.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Napoli will pay € 2 million for the player’s season loan. His € 3.5m-a-year salary will be partially paid by Chelsea.

He will reunite with coach Gennaro Gattuso, who worked with him during his loan to Milan in 2018-19.

Milan had been in talks for a return to San Siro earlier in the summer, but Chelsea wanted €25-30m.

Napoli, on the other hand, seem content to accept a dry loan without option or obligation to buy.
