体坛英语新闻：Gattuso looks to Kaka's return

ROME, March 21 (Xinhua) -- AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has admitted that he looked forward to Kaka's return to the San Siro.

The Brazilian, plagued by injuries after moving to Real Madrid, has long been linked with a return to the Rossoneri after failing to settle at the Bernabeu.

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is also rumoured to be courted by Milan, but when asked who he would prefer to see at the club next season, Gattuso selected his former teammate.

"Kaka, he made history with Milan and if he is loved so much it means he did well. We are waiting for him," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Defender Alessandro Nesta has hinted that he could retire at the end of the season, but Gattuso is of the opinion that he will play on for a while yet, adding: "He is playing on the injury story. He will stop in two or three years like myself."
