Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has revealed that he would love to play for Paris Saint-Germain one day.
In an interview with French news outlet L’Equipe, as cited in a report from Calciomercato, the 24-year-old conceded that he would be interested in playing for the Ligue 1 champions.
Bakayoko spent the duration of last season on loan at AC Milan following a difficult first campaign in English football with Chelsea.
The Frenchman played well for his temporary club under Gennaro Gattuso, despite his relationship with the manager growing progressively frosty towards the end of his spell in Italy.
It was Leonardo who recruited Bakayoko for Milan during his time as the club’s sporting director, and he has recently moved to PSG.
This led to questions regarding whether or not the former AS Monaco star would be open to arriving in the French capital.
Bakayoko responded to Leonardo’s move and opened up about his desire to pull on the PSG shirt at some stage in his career. He said:
I can’t lie, I’d like to play in Paris one day. I’m happy for Leo, he made me come to Milan and allowed me to regain my level, giving me confidence. I respect him very much, as I respect the Rossoneri.
I am happy to come to Paris, the club I support in my city. I am convinced that he [Leonardo] will do a great job and I wish him well.
One thing is certain: one day I would like to play at PSG. I can’t lie. It would represent something important for me and my family. We are all true Parisians.
