'Milan has always been special to me' – Kjaer feels privileged to make San Siro switch permanent

Simon Kjaer says that completing a permanent move to AC Milan is the realisation of a career-long ambition.

The 31-year-old centre-back has spent his career playing around Europe at the likes of Wolfsburg, Lille, Fenerbahce and Sevilla, but his goal was always to return to Serie A, where he made his breakthrough at the top level with Palermo.

Although he had subsequently spent temporary spells with Roma and Atalanta, on Wednesday it was confirmed his switch to Milan, where he had been since January after being loaned from Sevilla, has been made permanent.
