Latest Chelsea transfer rumours: Sevilla target Bakayoko, West Ham want Batshuayi

Chelsea's season may be on hold as the world battles the coronavirus crisis, but that has not stopped reports claiming they are looking ahead and planning their summer transfer business.

It remains to be seen when the transfer window will open this summer, as leagues and associations battle to conclude their current campaigns.

But managers, and their recruitment staff, are believed to be keeping busy in isolation by planning deals well in advance, if the latest reports are to be believed.

With that in mind, here are the latest transfer rumours from Stamford Bridge.

Sevilla eye Tiemoue Bakayoko

Sevilla are the latest club to express an interest in Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko following his loan stint with Monaco, France Football reports.

The 25-year-old has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge and looks likely to be on the way out this summer, with a host of clubs attributed with his services.

Despite struggling to adapt to the Premier League, Bakayoko has a number of suitors, including Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, and a fight for his signature could take place.

West Ham want Batshuayi

West Ham are considering selling club-record signing Sebastian Haller this summer and are eyeing Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi as a replacement.

That's according to the Daily Express, who state the Hammers are looking to cut costs and, as such, will look to recoup as much of the £45m fee they paid Eintracht Frankfurt last year as possible.

As a replacement, it's stated that West Ham will revive their interest in Batshuayi, who has previously been linked with a move to the London Stadium and looks set to leave Chelsea this summer.

Milan's Donnarumma plan

AC Milan are planning to use an emotional approach to get goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to pen a new deal at the club, reports in Italy state.

The highly-rated stopper sees his contract at the San Siro expire at the end of next season and he has attracted a wealth of interest, including that of Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

However, Donnarumma is keen to stay at the club where he made his breakthrough and Milan, as well as offer him financial incentives, will also offer more - with it stated the plan is a long-term deal that would see the young keeper eventually become club captain.
