The Frenchman wants to depart Stamford Bridge but is not being allowed to leave.
Tiemoue Bakayoko would like to return to Monaco, but Chelsea do not believe the Ligue 1 side's offer of a loan is good enough to sanction the deal, according to RMC Sport.
The midfielder won the league with Monaco and battled to the semi-finals of the Champions League before leaving for Chelsea, but his time in London has been a disaster.
He spent last season on loan with AC Milan and found some form again, but does not seem to have a future at Stamford Bridge.
