Alessandro Nesta has declared he intends to play out his career with AC Milan.

The 35-year-old Rome-born stopper made the declaration when reflecting on how he sees himself winding down after 19 years at the top.

"I want to end my career in a dignified way, preferably with Milan. Here the level is high and you play every three days. Maybe I will cut back on the commitments, once a week may prove enough.

"Staying in Milan for 10 years was my goal - my family is settled, we're fine here."
