Sevilla defender Simon Kjaer hopes to stay with AC Milan.

Kjaer's loan move in January included a permanent option for the Rossonero.

"My dream is to stay at Milan and when the time comes, we will talk about it with the club," he told Corriere dello Sport.

“I have to put the maximum pressure on my club to convince them to make the option to buy a reality.

“I'm still working to stay at Milan, even if we don't play. I try to improve, not only physically but mentally."

Kjaer also said of coach Stefano Pioli: “Pioli gave me confidence immediately; he spoke to me a lot. He asked me how it was better to employ me and with a coach like that, it has been easy."
