Gennaro Gattuso has explained the reasons behind his decision to leave AC Milan. The 34-year-old announced last week that he will depart San Siro when his contract expires in June following a successful 13-year spell with the Rossoneri.

Gattuso revealed that he no longer feels useful at Milan and added that he knew the end was near after the 4-2 defeat against Inter earlier in May.

"In the derby, I felt I was an ex-player," Gattuso told Sportitalia. "That night, I returned home and I decided to leave without talking to anyone.

"If I want to continue to play, I must leave this club."

The former Italy international also reiterated his desire to return to Rangers, where he played in 1997-98 before joining Salernitana.

"I have spoken with people who are interested in entering the club," he said.

"This is my dream, we will see. I am not interested in money. I want something that excites me and makes me feel alive."

The Scottish giants, who recently fell into administration, announced on Sunday they had reached a deal with former Sheffield United chief executive Charles Green for the 59-year-old to buy the club.
