The tenacious midfielder has been surrounded by speculation regarding his future at San Siro lately, and Bayern have been usually deemed as interested.

"Is it true that Gattuso wants to leave Milan? I like him. He would be an important player for Bayern in the Champions League. Or rather he would be perfect," Beckenbauer told Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Bundesliga champions are looking to strengthen the team in the summer, as they are particularly looking for a midfielder.

Apart from that, the arrival of Mathieu Flamini at Milan could fortify the idea of Gattuso leaving the Serie A titans in the summer.
