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.

maldini is an old man?
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 !
lohkinghung your some tit.........
what the.... are u on about? it doesnt mention robben anywhere u....
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...
