Mikkel Beck, Simon Kjaer’s representative, has affirmed his client’s intentions regarding his future with Milan during the forthcoming summer transfer window.
Since joining Milan in 2020, the 35-year-old Danish defender has played a crucial role within the team, both as a leader in the locker room and a dependable option on the field, despite grappling with injuries in recent seasons.
With just over two months remaining on his contract, Kjaer is poised to depart Milan on a free transfer in the summer. Throughout this season, he has amassed over 1450 minutes of playtime across 24 appearances.
Regarding Kjaer’s future, Beck, in an interview with Danish newspaper Bold, confirmed the plans for the defender at Milan in the upcoming summer.
“His contract will expire this summer, then Simon will leave Milan. There is no drama, the parties share feelings and there is understanding of each other’s wishes. It’s just the natural farewell to a club where Simon has been playing, and loves to do so, for four years.”
“It seems like the right time has come, one day he told me that he would have liked to play for Milan, he managed to make his dream come true and in the most beautiful way Rossoneri are the club where Simon has played the most matches.”
Beck further elaborated on Kjaer’s future endeavors and reflected on his impactful four-year tenure with Milan.
“For Simon it’s a perfect situation, he will play the European Championship in the summer and then he will be free to move wherever he wants. He would like to be able to freely choose where the next adventure will be, for him and his family.”
“I don’t expect rapid timing in the case of Simon, unlike for example Giroud. When Simon arrived at Milan, the club was in the bottom half of the table. He dreamed of bringing the club back to the top of Italian football, they won a title, they stabilized.”
“Until the top of Europe, last year he played in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Today he is injured, but he should be able to help Milan at the end of the season, to prepare for the European Championship.”
Over his tenure of four years with Milan, Kjaer has amassed 120 appearances across various competitions, contributing with one goal and three assists.
