Caldara earns €2.2m-a-year at the San Siro and is under contract with the Serie A giants until June 2023.
He had joined the Rossoneri in 2018 from Juventus.
The Old Lady had signed him from Atalanta a few months earlier and Caldara could only play one friendly during the pre-season before joining Milan.
Caldara moved to the San Siro with Gonzalo Higuain, while Leonardo Bonucci returned to Juventus after just one season with the Rossoneri.
Caldara has two international caps to his name and made his senior Azzurri debut in June 2018.
