Gattuso confirms AC Milan will buy two players and comments on Higuain-Morata swap
"I am convinced that we will do something more, the latest performances have not been good. We lack personality and experience and struggle to make the leap in quality. Everyone has to give more," he said.
"Higuain-Morata exchange deal? I hold Higuain tight. I do not know, I do not want to bypass anyone's work. In the last 7 years, Chelsea have not bought a 31-year-old player. I hold him tight. He is not going through a positive moment, but we must not think about it and do something more.
"I have no doubt about Gonzalo. At this moment we are struggling, in the middle, we lack a bit of quality. It is not only Higuain who is struggling, he is not the only problem but the whole team is playing with the handbrake pulled.
"Montolivo to play? We will see. Calhanoglu in the midfield? We will see. He has played as a midfielder many times. The market? I think we will make one or two purchases. Surely we need a forward that can play both as an attacker and a winger. Then we will see if we can do something in the midfield.
"Conti? He is ready. He is waiting for me to put him on the pitch. It is my fault he is not playing, I have to find the right time. Montolivo? I have nothing against him. I make choices, at this moment there are players ahead of him.
"Paqueta? He is 21 years old and has great qualities. But do not put into your heads that he will make us win matches immediately. He needs time and patience. Do not start making headlines on him. Since MilanLab exists, he is in the top 5 performers, he is a player who combines quality and physical strength," Gattuso concluded.
