Gennaro Gattuso happy at A.C Milan and casts doubt over Marek Hamsik signing: Serie A news
Veteran midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gennaro-Gattuso-c14525, has once again confirmed that he will not be leaving A.C Milan in the summer transfer window.
The Italian World Cup winner received an offer from Russian side, Anzhi Makhachkala, last month, but rejected it for the sake of remaining with the Italian Champions. Gattuso is believed to be unhappy at Milan and has been linked with a move to several clubs.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 midfielder’s current contract with the club is due to expire in 2012 and was hoping for an extension but the club have still not spoken with him. However, despite that, the 33-year-old has 12-year affiliation with the club and does not want to leave them on a bad note.
Gattuso revealed that the offer from Russian club was very tempting but he had a long hard look at the options before deciding against a deal and admitted that he is very happy at Milan.
Talking to the reporters Gattuso said, "I have one more year on my contract and Milan are my home, a club I feel fine at. My agent cannot decide alone, it always has to go through me: I repeat, I am fine at AC Milan."
The club manager, Massimiliano Allegri, has decided to invest in the fresh blood to replace the ageing midfielders at San Siro. The club have already confirmed the permanent signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Prince-Boateng-c20792 and has also bought Stephan El-Shaarawy from Genoa.
Allegri is interested in signing a top quality midfielder in the summer transfer window and several names have been linked with the club. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 midfielder, Marek Hamsik, is believed to be the top transfer target for the Rossoneri but his valuation might put them off the deal. Gattuso confirmed that Milan like the Slovakian but he is too costly for them.
"AC Milan like Hamsik, that is now clear. But the meeting about the TV broadcasting rights on Wednesday could be a problem, because I do not think in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 the clubs have the budget to make an investment of €30-40 million.” added the Italian
The Italian international also hailed bitter rival, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan’s new manager, Gian Piero Gasperini, and believes he will make them a threatening force.
