Simon Kjaer Announces Departure From AC Milan At Season's End

Milan defender Simon Kjaer will leave the Serie A club at the end of the current campaign, he announced on Tuesday. The 35-year-old Denmark captain arrived at the San Siro in January 2020 on loan from Sevilla before signing a permanent deal at the end of that season.

In a video shared on Milan's page on the social media platform X, Kjaer said: "This is my club. It's my place. It always will be. My time here was the pride and dream that gave me great joy and a lot of satisfaction in my career and life."

Kjaer played 120 matches for the club and won the Serie A title in 2022. However, he has struggled with injuries this season, managing just 24 appearances in all competitions.
