Milan only signed their manager to a three-year deal in April and the new sporting director has no intention of parting with the 40-year-old just yet
New AC Milan sporting director Leonardo insisted Gennaro Gattuso is going nowhere, as he denied talking with Antonio Conte.
Gattuso's position has come under threat following Leonardo's appointment, with the former head coach reportedly seeking to lure ex-Chelsea boss Conte to the San Siro.
Milan only signed Gattuso to a three-year deal in April and Leonardo has no intention of parting with the 40-year-old just yet.
"My view is shared by the club, Gattuso was the first to be confirmed, this has never been up for discussion," said Leonardo, who arrived in Milan as the Serie A club continued to overhaul its senior hierarchy under new owners Elliott Management.
"It's normal that these things happen when great coaches are available, but none of us have talked to Conte.
