Transfer Info, La Liga, Seria A

AC Milan forward Gonzalo Higuain feels like he was "kicked out" of Juventus because of Cristiano Ronaldo's signing in July.

Gennaro Gattuso has revealed he took a bizarre decision to eat a live snail during his playing days in 2010 in a bid to reduce tension among his Milan team-mates. Andrea Pirlo revealed that the midfielder had performed the stunt before their Champions League clash with Manchester United back in 2010.
