Meanwhile, Mirabelli revealed to Radio Kiss Kiss that Rino had requested Demme when he was Milan coach.

“Gattuso already wanted him at Milan,” said the ex-Rossoneri sporting director.

The 28-year-old has one cap for Germany but has Italian lineage and was named Diego after Partenopei icon Diego Maradona.
