Apparently the club and the midfielder have already agreed on all the details and soon there will be an official announcement which will put to rest all the speculation that had veen swirling around the player in the past month.

Gattuso had been linked to Chelsea, with his former mentor Carlo Ancelotti extremely keen to take him to London with him.

However, following these latest reports, Ringhio will remain for many more years at Milanello and thus emulate other great Rossoneri players of the past who remained at the club until they retired.
