Valencia want to cut short the loan of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

AS says the decision was made a month ago, with the Belgian failing to convince coach Marcelino and Los Che directors.

Batshuayi had joined Valencia on a season-long loan, with a permanent option of €35m. But now VCF want to send him back to Chelsea next month.

They paid €3m for the 12-month loan.

The decision is being driven by Marcelino, who wants a more mobile and aggressive centre-forward to lead his attack.
