AC Milan legend Franco Baresi has called on management to convince Rino Gattuso to stay.

Gattuso is unsettled at the San Siro after dropping down the pecking order in coach Leonardo's plans this season.

Baresi told itasportpress.it: "It's clear that no one likes not playing. I am sure that when Gennaro gets back in shape Leonardo will take him into consideration.

"The Rossoneri will have to face many games and Gattuso will not lack chances to play. We know how important his determination and personality is to the club, so I would not let him escape from Milan,"
