Milan 'never considered replacing' Gattuso - Leonardo

AC Milan sporting director Leonardo has little interest in discussing Gennaro Gattuso's future, although he insists the club have never considered sacking the former midfielder.

Gattuso has guided the Rossoneri back into Serie A's top four as they chase Champions League qualification, yet he said ahead of Saturday's clash with Sampdoria that he would talk about his future at the end of the season.

Leonardo, speaking after Milan lost 1-0 at Samp, said he was surprised by both the question and the answer, but insists making Gattuso happy is not the priority as the side look to end the season on a high.
