Gennaro Gattuso - Milan-Chievo - Serie A (Grazia Neri)
Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso's agent has reacted quickly to reports in the British media today and refuted the notion that his client is set to move to Manchester City in January.

The combative midfielder had apparently informed friends that he was bound for Eastlands in January in a bid to boost his chances of playing for Italy in next summer's World Cup.

The working relationship between Gattuso and Milan coach Leonardo was also rumoured to be far from perfect.

But his agent, Andrea D'Amico, claims that there are no problems at the San Siro regarding his client and that Gattuso is staying put.

"There is no truth in the Manchester City link," D'Amico told Sky Sports.

"I have had no contact with Manchester City at this moment.

"Gennaro is coming back from injury and he is okay at Milan."
