Reports in Italy suggest Gennaro Gattuso is heading from the Diavolo to the Red Devils at Old Trafford this summer.
Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti denied the midfielder was ready to walk out on his team, insisting he was “100 per cent” sure to remain.
Yet rumours of Gattuso’s imminent departure continue to circulate and so far the candidates have included Glasgow Rangers, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The latest newspaper reports in Italy have found a new and more likely destination – Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson has never disguised his admiration for the World Cup winner and is ready to over a four-year contract worth £3m per season net.
Milan had previously turned down an approach for the midfielder in the wake of the Champions League Final debacle in Istanbul.
It is claimed that Gattuso has already agreed basic personal terms with United and Milan would be willing to release him after nine years of service.
However, the Rossoneri are not ready to let him go for the proposed £10m and want a higher offer for the 30-year-old.
Clarence Seedorf is also considering moving on with interest from Bayern Munich and Valencia.
Upfront Alberto Gilardino is almost certain to leave in the summer with offers from Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Roma.
