Max Gradel is pushing Bournemouth to allow him to leave for Toulouse.

The winger, formerly of St Etienne, is eager to work with Pascal Dupraz at Toulouse, says L'Equipe.

Gradel is the subject of a loan offer from TFC with the option to buy - which the Cherries have turned down.

A family source rapped: "It is difficult to understand the interest of Bournemouth not to accede to the request of Max-Alain."

Claudio Ranieri's Nantes are also interested in Gradel.
