Christian Abbiati has opened the door to a return to AC Milan.

The former Milan goalkeeper was team manager last season, though was squeezed out as the club underwent a front office restructure.

However, with Leonardo and Paolo Maldini now in place as football directors, Abbiati is open to a return.

He told RMC: "In September I will have a coffee at Casa Milan with Leonardo and Maldini, let's see."

Abbiati was also asked about the arrivals of Pepe Reina and Gonzalo Higuain this summer.

He added: "Rino (Gattuso) already did a great job in the locker room last year, with the addition of these two champions used to winning, Milan with their young squad will be helped."
