MILAN - Netherlands midfielder Mark van
Bommel has extended his contract with AC Milan until June 2012
while Brazil defender Thiago Silva has signed a new deal until
2016, the Italian champions said on Wednesday.
Van Bommel only joined Milan in January from Bayern Munich
and despite being sent off in his first game, his combative
presence became a major asset for the Rossoneri.
The 34-year-old had been linked in the media with a move to
England with his short-term deal at Milan running out but he has
opted to give Serie A one more year.
Milan are still mulling whether to offer veteran midfield
trio Clarence Seedorf, Andrea Pirlo and Massimo Ambrosini new
deals.
Reserve goalkeeper Flavio Roma has also signed for another
year.
