Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has confirmed the acquisition of Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea.
“Welcome Tiemoue,” ADL wrote in one of his trademark tweets.
The French midfielder joins the Stadio San Paolo on a dry loan and according to Calciomercato.com, Chelsea will pay half of his wages during the current season.
Bakayoko had been linked with a return to Milan where he played on loan in the 2018-19 campaign under Rino Gattuso.
The Italian coach had requested his services to strengthen the Azzurri team in the middle of the park and Napoli managed to bring him back to Serie A.
Napoli have also announced that their defender Sebastiano Luperto has joined Crotone on loan until the end of the season.
Benvenuto Tiemoue ! #ADL
