AC Milan defender Kjaer: I've had Saudi offers

AC Milan defender Simon Kjaer admits rejecting an offer from Saudi Arabia in January.

Currently away with the Denmark squad, Kjaer was asked if he's had recent offers to leave Milan.

He said: "I would be lying if I said no. Obviously I decided differently. I have also previously rejected offers from Saudi Arabia. I did this for many reasons. First and foremost, because right now I am in the place I have always wanted to be. I have made a beautiful football journey, I always wanted to play for Milan and I have an incredibly beautiful life in Milan.

"It's Italy. My wife is Swedish, so Denmark is not her home, just as Sweden is not mine. My children understand Danish, they speak a bit like in 'The Christmas Calendar'. But their main language is English. They have always gone to English school.

"We have moved an incredible amount of times in our lives. For us Italy has become our home. This is where we have lived the longest and have a lot of fun. This applies to the whole family."
