The <strong>French<\/strong> midfielder stood out and on August 24, 2013 he made his professional debut with <strong>Rennes<\/strong> in a league match against <strong>Evian<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2014, <strong>Monaco<\/strong> spent \u20ac8,000,000 to sign him. The transfer to the <strong>Monegasques<\/strong> was decisive for his career. <strong>Bakayoko<\/strong> became one of the main cogs in the team and won the <strong>French<\/strong> league in 2016-17, while also contributing significantly to the team&#8217;s impressive run to the semi-finals of the <strong>UEFA Champions League<\/strong> in the same season. During his time at <strong>Monaco<\/strong> he recorded 92 appearances, five goals and one assist.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 2017, <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> forked out \u20ac40,000,000 from their coffers to sign him, making the transfer the second most expensive in the club&#8217;s history up to that point. <strong>Bakayoko<\/strong> made 43 appearances for the <strong>Blues<\/strong>, scoring three times and providing three assists, while also winning the <strong>FA Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After <strong>Chelsea, Bakayoko<\/strong> was loaned to <strong>AC Milan<\/strong> for the 2018\u201319 season, where he played in 42 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist. In 2019-20 he returned to <strong>Monaco<\/strong>, making 23 appearances, one goal and two assists, while the following season, he was loaned to <strong>Napoli<\/strong>, making 44 appearances, scoring two goals and providing two assists.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2021-22 season he returned to <strong>Milan<\/strong> again on a new loan, played in 18 matches and won the <strong>Italian<\/strong> championship.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, <strong>Bakayoko<\/strong> returned to <strong>France<\/strong> for <strong>Lorient<\/strong>, making 21 appearances, scoring two goals and providing one assist.<\/p>\n<p>At international level, <strong>Bakayoko<\/strong> has played for the <strong>French<\/strong> national team, making one appearance in 2017, while also playing for all of his country&#8217;s youth sides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Welcome to the black and white family Tiemoue!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bakayoko is here - PAOK TV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SkmzgVTkkPQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PAOK announces the transfer of Tiemoue Bakayoko from Lorient.
