Will Declan Rice be on the move this summer? (Image: GETTY)
When Bakayoko arrived at Chelsea from Monaco in 2017, it was thought they had landed one of the best up and coming midfield players.
But he has spent the past two years on loan at AC Milan and Monaco and has been put up for sale.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted: "Chelsea are working to sell players on next days. Talks on with Genoa to loan out Davide Zappacosta. Tiemoue Bakayoko is still the main target for AC Milan."
Were Chelsea able to obtain transfer fees for Zappacosta and Bakayoko, it could potentially help them in their effort to raise funds to sign Declan Rice from West Ham, despite in the insistence from the Hammers that he won't be sold.

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand has hit out at his former club Manchester United for their transfer window activity and compared them unfavourably to Chelsea.
While Chelsea have been swift and decisive in signing six new faces, United have completed just one deal and missed out on the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Jack Grealish.
“Frank has made signing players like it's the norm, like it's easy – water off a duck's back,” Ferdinand told the Five YouTube Channel.
“The difference in the way Chelsea have done their business compared to say my team Man United… there is no noise, there's nothing going on, all you're seeing is bang – deal. Little bit of talk, bang-deal.
“That is what's frustrating for me and all the Man United fans.
"Sancho was talked about months ago. Still not done, it's so frustrating.
“I'm not saying deals are easy to be done but Chelsea are showing deals can be done if you put the money down and it's all done in the right way.”
