AC Milan coach Rino Gattuso says they must keep hold of Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Bakayoko is on loan from Chelsea with option to buy and Gattuso made clear his intentions.
“At this moment, we cannot do without Bakayoko," said the caoch.
"If we have the possibility of keeping him, then we absolutely must do so, but I am not the one in charge of the purse strings and cannot talk about that. All I know is Bakayoko can become a fundamental player in the future of Milan."
