Gattuso to leave Milan in the summer ?

[Oliver_Kahn]

Let me be the first to drop the bomb:

Rino to receive Milan axe?

Press reports in Italy suggest that Milan could begin their summer clearout by sensationally selling Gennaro Gattuso.

The world champions have just five games left to save their season and secure Champions League football by clawing back fourth-placed Fiorentina’s four-point lead.

With the Rossoneri’s squad ageing, they are expected to make sweeping changes at the end of the campaign wherever they finish in the table and Gattuso, who has disappointed this term, could make way for new blood.

There have been suggestions that Bayern Munich could step in to sign the 30-year-old, who would link up with Azzurri teammate Luca Toni.

It has been reported that Premier League sides Tottenham and Newcastle and Scottish giants Rangers are keeping an eye on the Gattuso situation.

A move across the Channel doesn’t seem out of the question given that Rino spent the 1997-98 season with Rangers and has a Scottish wife.

Nah, not yet.

He won't end his career with Milan but he's got a couple of years left yet.

Why sell him? They won't get a huge fee and he'd be hard to replace anyway.

Real are interested it seems.

There have been rumours of Gattuso looking elsewhere for much of the year, but they are grounded more on money and his expressed desire to go back to Britain before he ends his career than on any sense of Milan under-achieving. This week's hypothetical destination was Bayern Munich, but it is really rather hard for me to see that happening, and not only because the idea of Rino in Lederhosen makes me giggle.
