Rino Gattuso has urged AC Milan to buy Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo.
Milan see Montolivo as a replacement for new Juventus signing Andrea Pirlo.
"The way I see it, Milan need a new man in midfield," Gattuso told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
"We more or less all have the same characteristics in that area. We need a player who can get the team moving a bit more."
Following Pirlo's move to Juventus, they have been linked primarily with Liverpool outcast Alberto Aquilani and Fiorentina's want-away former captain Montolivo.
"Perhaps Aquilani pushes up more, while we all know Montolivo, as he has been an Italian international for years.
"Aquilani and Montolivo are both players of great quality."
