Gennaro Gattuso In AC Milan Quit Threat

AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has threatened to turn his back and walk out on the club after spending 11 years with the Rossoneri.

The Italian international is not happy with the way he has been used by Leonardo. He has often been peripheral to requirements. Tactical decisions and injuries have seen Gattuso's name appear very few times on team sheets, leaving him to reflect upon his Rossoneri future.

Gattuso has been linked with a number of clubs, and while Il Diavolo have tried to play down suggestions he was leaving, the player's resonant tone of voice will send an anxious message around Milanello.

"I am not happy at playing little. Will I leave? We will talk about that later," Gattuso told Sky Sport Italia.

Gattuso feels as a senior member of the squad, who has been a loyal servant for over a decade, that he is being treated unfairly.

"After 11 years of playing at Milan I just cannot hope that someone gets injured in order for me to play. I cannot think that I am no longer needed by the club and team."

On Tuesday Leonardo claimed there was "no problem" with Gattuso, but the player appears to have uncovered one.
