Summarised by MatchPal
Free agent Bakayoko training with Celtic as he seeks to join the Scottish champions on a deal after leaving PAOK.
Tiemoue Bakayoko, a 32-year-old free agent since departing PAOK in January 2025, has been training with Celtic over recent weeks during the Scottish Premiership's international break. The former Chelsea and AC Milan midfielder, who was valued at £40m in his prime, is pushing for a move to Parkhead. Celtic explored signing him in January with an 18-month deal reportedly discussed, but that move fell through. Bakayoko has expressed his readiness to return to competitive football after spells at Lorient and PAOK following his release from Chelsea.
