The agent of Rino Gattuso cannot rule out a move to England for the AC Milan midfielder.

Andrea D'Amico admits Gattuso was very close to former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, now of Chelsea. The Italy international has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and also Manchester United, where Sir Alex Ferguson is a big admirer.

D'Amico said: "Gennaro has the characteristics and qualities suitable for playing in the English league.

"I do not think that Milan could sell Rino, but in terms of the market never say never."
