Simon Kjaer has said that he will remain with Italian club Palermo if they qualify for next season's Champion League.

The highly-rated 21-year old Danish defender is being heavily linked with a summer exit from the Sicilian club with names such as Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and even Juventus being thrown around but he admits that a stay with Rosanero depends on European football.

"My future? I want to play in the Champions League. If we achieve the fourth place, I have no reason to leave Palermo," he told reporters .

"I still have three years of the contract (left), then it all depends on the president (Maurizio) Zamparini. Later I'd like to play in a great team but now I'm only thinking about Palermo.

"Juventus? In this season they haven't done well, but it remains a great club with a great history."
