Ex-Man City midfielder de Jong eager to remain at AC Milan

Nigel de Jong has revealed that he wants to finish his playing career with AC Milan.

The 29-year old Dutch midfielder joined the Rossoneri from Manchester City in the summer of 2012 and is hoping to remain at the San Siro until his playing days are over.

Reports suggested that de Jong was a summer target for Manchester United but the former Ajax and Hamburg ace insists he is happy in Milan as he gets set to sort out a new contract with the Italian giants.

"I want to stay at Milan and I repeat that I want to end my career here," the Holland international told Tuttosport.

"What point are we at with the new contract? I know that the club has contacted my agent and there is an appointment for next week."
