Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has said he would be surprised to see former captain Paolo Maldini join Chelsea or any other club this summer - and is pained by such rumours.

Maldini (pictured) retired from the game last month after 24 years in a Milan shirt.

The 40-year-old is reportedly considering an offer to join Chelsea as part of their coaching staff, where he would be reunited with former Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti.

"There's nothing official so far," said Gattuso. "But having to hear these rumours is painful.

"Knowing Paolo, I would struggle to see him far away from Milan. I really cannot picture him with another club because he is Milan."

A former Italy international, Maldini won seven Serie A titles, five Champions League trophies and one FIFA Club World Cup, among other accolades, in his successful career.

  4. Robben, back at Chelsea ? Please don't make me­ laugh, for all his talent was the biggest diving cheat­ in Football. Christ he even made Ronaldo and Drogba­ look like amateurs when it came to diving.

    He became­ an embarassment at Chelsea, both for the club and­ it's fans.

    There is no way we want him back at­ Chelsea !

    I agree!!!!! Great idea for Robben to rejoin Chelsea.­ In fact, with his presence Chelsea play much better­ football. they have more choice because Arjen Robben is­ one of those players who can turn a game around. Even­ Scolari says this before he can improve the passive­ football of Chelsea. He Has Flair!!!!!!!!! He at least­ can give Ancelotti more choice...
