Gennaro Gattuso and Alberto Gilardino have insisted they will stay at Italian giants AC Milan even if the club is relegated to Serie B.

"I’m proud to wear the Milan shirt. There’s been so much talk about Milan in the last few months, but I still think this is a unique club," Gattuso was quoted as saying by Milan's official website on Thursday.

"I spoke to [Milan Vice-President] Adriano Galliani and told him again that I’m not going anywhere," the Italian midfielder added.

Milan, along with Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio could be relegated from Serie A and forced out of European competitions if found guilty in the match-fixing scandal that rocked Italy.

Gilardino, who joined Milan last summer from Parma, has also committed his future to the Rossoneri.

"What is certain is that my future is with Milan. I am joined to this shirt and this splendid club, my objective is to win with this team," he said.

The duo played an integral part in Italy's 2006 World Cup triumph, leading the Azzurri to their fourth title in history.

A verdict in the sporting fraud trial is expected in the next few days, according to Italian media.
