Milan very close to announcing renewal of dressing room leader – the figures

AC Milan should soon be able to announce the renewal of Simon Kjaer as negotiations over his extension are proceeding well, a report claims.

Kjaer has a contract which expires at the end of the season just like the situation Alessio Romagnoli and Franck Kessie are facing, but it seems that the Dane’s renewal will be much easier to manage. In fact, Tuttosport (via MilanLive) writes that there are no doubts neither on the part of the club nor on the part of the player about continuing together.

That is why an extension until June 2023 is approaching and as per the paper, the agreement also includes an option to extend it for another season until June 2024.

He will also net a pay rise from the current €1.2m net per season to €1.5m, a reward which shows how Kjaer has become one of the pillars of Stefano Pioli’s team and a leader both on and off the field.
