Gattuso builds AC Milan dam with Kessié and Bakayoko

08 dic 2018

The midfield department at AC Milan is that which has suffered most from injuries in the last months, with Lucas Biglia and Giacomo Bonaventura both being out of action for a lengthy period of time. Coach Gennaro Gattuso, thus, decide to entrust the keys of the midfield to Franck Kessie and Tiemoue Bakayoko, who now represent the new dam in the middle of the field for Milan.

As written by Gazzetta dello Sport, the duo has given physicality to the Rossoneri and they are now irreplaceable for Gattuso. And if the former Atalanta man has contributed since his arrival, the big surprise of recent weeks is certainly Bakayoko, who has grown exponentially and was ready right at the time of greatest need.

After the difficulties of the first months, it now seems that Bakayoko is another player and has clear ideas for the future. The Frenchman wants to stay and convince the club to buy him out next summer from Chelsea. To do so, 35 million euros are required, an undoubtedly important figure, but if Bakayoko were to continue with these performances, Leonardo would have no problem to spend that amount of money.
