Agent confirms Kjaer will leave Milan: 'For Simon, it is a perfect situation'

The agent of Simon Kjaer has confirmed that the defender will leave AC Milan at the end of the season on a free transfer once his contract expires.

Kjaer arrived at Milan on a loan deal in the spring of 2020 – incidentally together with Zlatan Ibrahimovic – to add experienced strength to the young Milan team.

He earned a permanent deal and since then he has made 120 appearances for Milan, which makes them the club outside Denmark for which he has played the most games.

However, his deal is expiring and there have been widespread reports suggesting that the time will come to part ways as Milan look to refresh their struggling defensive department.

Kjaer’s agent Mikkel Beck has now confirmed in an interview with Bold that Kjaer’s Milan adventure will end once the current campaign draws to a close. There is no drama, and the parties part in good mutual understanding.

“It is a natural farewell to a club where Simon has loved playing for more than four years – at a time that feels right,” he said.

“Many years ago, Simon told me that one day he wanted to play for AC Milan, and that dream came true in the most beautiful way. And in fact, Milan became the club where Simon has played the most matches.

“For Simon, it is a perfect situation. He will play the European Championship this summer as Denmark’s captain, and then he will go on a free transfer.

“Actually, his position is that he would like to decide after the Euros and be able to choose freely where the adventure should continue for him and his family.

“So I don’t expect any quick clarification for Simon, just like Oliver Giroud, whose contract also expires – and where he has chosen to continue in the USA.”
