Gattuso wants Milan to spend big

Italian midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has insisted he hopes that Milan enter the market for a couple of high profile signings this summer. It is understood that Milan could make a move for Elano from Man City.

“Up until the transfer deadline on August 31, we will hope for a present from our President,” Gattuso quipped.

“We still need a striker and a full-back. This team is not set for the scrapheap, but if someone else arrives then we can do well. We’re still missing something.”

There were strong reports that Rino would be one of those moving on with links to Bayern Munich, but he laid those fears to rest.

“There is a great team spirit now with Leonardo that we had not seen in a long time. We turned the page after [Carlo] Ancelotti left, although we maintain a wonderful rapport with him.

“I hope to end my career here. If I didn’t leave last year, then I doubt I will in the future.”
