The Palermo midfielder, likened by some to the San Siro hero, has been suggested in some quarters as a transfer target for the Rossoneri should Gattuso leave in January.
However, the former Juventus youth team player claims that he knows nothing of the rumours, even if he’s proud to be mentioned in the same breath as the 2006 World Cup player.
“It is a great honour for me to be put alongside him,” said the Italian ahead of Sunday’s clash between the two sides [live on ESPN].
“However, he is a great champion and I have much work to do to reach his level. It’s still pleasing to hear these things though.”
Gattuso has been linked with a New Year exit after his recent admission that he is unhappy with the amount of playing time he is getting under new boss Leonardo.
Should he leave, Manchester City and Chelsea are options, then the Milan giants would be forced to enter the transfer market.
“I haven’t heard the stories that Milan would be interested in me to replace him,” continued the former Under-21 international.
“Yet it is always nice to hear your name being associated with big clubs as important as they are. It is certainly something to be proud of.”
