‘Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko will remain with Napoli’

Agent of Tiemoue Bakayoko has said the Chelsea midfielder will remain Napoli for now.

Brother and agent Abdoulaye said staying with the Azzurri next season doesn’t depend on the future of coach Rino Gattuso.

He told Radio Marte: “His destiny is not tied to that of the manager. There is a strong relationship with the coach but when there are discussions with the club to stay in Naples (if there are) then we’ll see.

“Today the focus is to see how the season will end and then it will be evaluated. For now there are no appointments or discussions with the club. If he stays in Naples, however, this will not be linked to Gattuso.”

Abdoulaye added: “He is happy here, it is a great club with a great history. He has not yet been able to fully experience the stadium and perhaps even the city. He is happy with this experience and is happy here.”
