Sevilla pondering move for Chelsea midfielder

Sevilla are weighing up a move for Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, who is currently on loan with French side Monaco, reports France Football. 

Bakayoko returned to Monaco last summer on a season-long move with a view to making the switch permanent, but it remains to be seen whether they will take up that option. 

The France international endured a single disappointing season with the Blues as he failed to live up to his £40m price tag and Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for the midfielder. 

French giants PSG have also been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old, who has one goal and two assists in France's top tier this term. 

However, Sevilla are now weighing up an offer for Bakayoko as the LaLiga outfit look to add to their midfield this summer. 

The Spanish side have been linked with a move for their former midfielder Ivan Rakitic, who is expected to leave Barcelona in the off-season and has a number of potential suitors monitoring his situation at Camp Nou. 

Chelsea will hope to recoup most, if not all of, the £40m they paid for Bakayoko back in 2017, but may have to take a financial hit as the Coronavirus pandemic affects every football team's finances coming into the summer.
