New Milan deal for De Jong?

By Football Italia staff

It’s reported Nigel de Jong is on the verge of extending his contract with Milan, rejecting Manchester United.

The 30-year-old midfielder is set to become a free agent when his current deal expires on June 30.

However, Tuttomercatoweb claim the Dutchman is ready to sign a new two-year agreement with many performance-related bonuses included.

An announcement is expected within the next 48 hours.

It would be a real surprise, as for months De Jong has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United.

Juve were also known to be interested in poaching him on a free transfer.

He first joined Milan from Manchester City for around €3.5m in August 2012.

This season he scored four goals in 30 appearances for the Rossoneri, between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.
