It cannot be ruled out that Simon Kjaer renews his contract with AC Milan and retires as a player while at the club, a report claims.
MilanNews describes the Kjaer and Milan relationship as a ‘love story since 2020 that could last several more years’. He arrived during a difficult 2019-20 campaign along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and has therefore been a part of the resurgence.
In the coming season the Dane will play for a starting spot together with Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori. It will not be easy to earn one though, especially after the sudden rise of the young German centre-back.
However, Kjaer will still be a fundamental element of the Rossoneri rearguard despite the fact that he is 34 years of age. He is one of the remaining pillars of the team and his desire is to retire at Milan, as he confirmed before the Euroderby.
“This is where I want to end, it’s the club where I’ve always dreamed of retiring. So I hope to retire here too, but not anytime soon,” he said.
The management will also talk about the future with the former Roma man shortly and the hypothesis of renewal for Kjaer cannot be ruled out. His current contract will expire in a year, and he could get another one-year deal.
If he played as he did last season I don’t think another year will hurt, we need leaders and he is one of them
