Kjaer gets a raise at Milan

Milan are reportedly ready to give Simon Kjaer an increased salary to tie the Dane down to a two-year deal at San Siro.

The Rossoneri are close to reaching an agreement with Kjaer over a new contract and La Gazzetta dello Sport reports the club is prepared to give him a reward for his performances in Milan.

The 32-year-old’s yearly salary will reportedly be increased from €1.2m to €1.5m a season at the Diavolo, according to the newspaper.

Kjaer, capped 113 times by Denmark, arrived from Sevilla in January 2020, initially on a six-month loan deal.

But the centre-back’s performances at San Siro earned him a permanent move to the club in September 2020 and he helped Milan secure second in Serie A and a return to the Champions League the following year.

Kjaer’s current contract expires in June 2022, but the Dane seems set to sign a new deal with the Rossoneri very soon.
