Chelsea are prepared to release midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko in the next 24 hours, according to Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Frenchman has been with the Blues for the past six years, and he has spent just one campaign with the first-team.
He has spent his time away on loan at different clubs, but is now prepared to mutually cut ties with the London giants.
Bakayoko is currently in the second year of his loan spell at AC Milan, but he is expected to terminate his temporary deal.
Once that happens, he is expected to do the same with Chelsea, who are willing to release him by mutual agreement.
Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing the former Ligue 1 winner, provided he is available on a free.
The decision to leave Chelsea could be a blessing in disguise for Bakayoko, who was once compared with Paul Pogba.
Chelsea are due to confirm his release in the next 24 hours or so.
