Valencia manager Gennaro Gattuso is ‘pushing’ to sign Chelsea’s forgotten man Tiemoue Bakayoko this summer, according to Calciomercato.
During his time at AC Milan, Gattuso signed Bakayoko on loan.
Chelsea signed Bakayoko from AS Monaco in 2017 for £36 million after the French Ligue 1 side impressed.
The 27-year-old struggled to adjust to Premier League life and has previously been loaned out to AC Milan, Monaco, and Napoli.
He has made 43 appearances for Chelsea and is seemingly surplus to requirements.
A potential deal is complicated because he is still on loan at AC Milan, with the Serie A club, having agreed to a two-year deal back in 2021.
Valencia will have to pay a fee to lure Bakayoko to the Mestalla Stadium because of the many loans he has been involved in.
Gattuso’s men are not the only club showing an interest in the Frenchman, as Ligue 1 side Marseille are also reportedly keeping tabs on the midfielder.
