AC Milan legend Rino Gattuso is backing their pursuit of Carlo Ancelotti.
Milan chief Adriano Galliani is in Madrid and has met twice with the sacked Real Madrid coach.
Gattuso stated: "Knowing Adriano Galliani, when he moves out on a mission, he always brings back something positive. That's what history tells us, though this time it seems difficult.
"As a Milanista I hope that Carlo can bring back enthusiasm. Regardless of who is the Coach next season, I am convinced Silvio Berlusconi will build a great team."
