Gattuso Reveals Higua

By Joshua Walters
AC Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso has revealed that the club has not informed Gonzalo Higuaín to leave in the Juanuary transfer window. 

The Argentine striker joined the Milan outfit in August on a loan deal from Juventus for €18million fee with the option to buy him after the season.

The 31-year-old forward has scored six goals in sixteen Serie A games and made five appearances in the Europa League with just two goals.

The former Juventus player have been linked with a move to Chelsea, but the deal is yet to be completed leading the manager to add his voice to the speculations that the club is neither willing to offload the striker nor block the chance should he prefer to leave. 

“There are many rumours, but Higuaín is training well, working with everyone just fine and is at our disposal,” Gattuso told reporters ahead of their Supercoppa final clash with Juventus

“He has to decide what to do, how to resolve this issue, but right now he is training with great professionalism. We'll see.”
“If he plays, it's because I see him in good shape and relaxed. Either he's a great actor or he's really within the team, is always chatting and kidding with his team-mates.”

“As I said, it's not easy for a coach to change the idea of a player, so I have to concentrate on putting out the best line-up for the situation and getting the best out of every player.”

“I want to reiterate that Higuaín has never told me he wants to leave. I am waiting for that.”

“I want to be honest, I didn't even want to talk about Higuaín, as we're here for the Supercoppa. That seemed the fair thing to do for a team.”

“I am not upset. I too was a player for many years, I realise there are moments when we all see things differently and cannot judge how someone else thinks.”

“If the glass is half-full or half-empty, it remains the same glass. We'll see what happens. I want to see this Supercoppa, I hope it is a great game for us, but I won't be upset or let down if he goes."
