Chelsea are considering releasing Tiemoue Bakayoko from his contract.

The midfielder is in the second of a two season loan with AC Milan, though the Rossonero are willing to end the agreement if he can find a new club.

The Mirror says Bakayoko's Chelsea contract could even be cancelled two years ahead of schedule - just like Ross Barkley's. Barkley is now a free agent after his deal was terminated by mutual consent on Monday.

Milan manager Stefano Pioli is said to be happy to let Bakayoko leave the San Siro, with Newcastle and Nottingham Forest monitoring his situation.

Forest have already made 19 signings this summer and a 20th arrival would be staggering. It's thought Monza, who won promotion to Serie A in May, are the favourites for his Bakayoko's signature.
