Okay a Spanish paper has printed today that Gattuso has agreed with Bayern Bunich on a 5.5M euro/season contract .. The reason for his departure, is the fact that Kaka' will inherit the arm band after Maldini and that Flamini has been given a better contract than his. Now Milan are demanding at least 20M euro for the tenacious midfielder.
I am not sure if this Spanish paper is reliable .. but just adds fuel to the rumor. I would hate to see him leave .. It would be a real sad day (IMG:

It's Sport.es (
link to article). This is a Barcelona-based website/paper and it's the same one that published the 'Kaka-is-Laporta's-Dream' article that Trini posted a couple of days ago. So not sure on its reliability.
What I consider a little more reliable is Gazzetta, which published an interview with Andrea Pirlo in which Pirlo said the following:
"Personalmente spero di concludere la carriera al Milan ed un giorno di esserne anche il capitano. Gattuso? Con noi non ha espresso alcun desiderio, sappiamo che aspetta la fine della stagione per parlare con la società ; penso che possa restare, meglio che qui non si sta da nessuna parte"
[Personally, I hope to end my career at Milan and one day to be captain. Gattuso? He's expressed certain wishes to us, we know he's waiting until the end of the season to talk to the club; I think he could stay, it's better than some other place.]
