AC Milan announces that Nigel De Jong’s contract with the club has been mutually terminated.

AC Milan would like thank the Nigel De Jong for his determination, commitment and professionalism shown during his time with the club. We wish him all the success possible and all the very best for the next stage of his career.

De Jong had just signed a contract extension with the Rossoneri in June but is ready to wave goodbye to the red and blacks and make the transition to the US.
According to multiple sources in the MLS and also Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio, the negotiation between De Jong and LA Galaxy is almost completed there are just a few bureaucratic matters to address.
De Jong joined Milan in 2012 and up until this season was a key player in midfield. However, coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has barely used him this term and De Jong has now decided to leave. The move is expected to be made official in the next days as Nigel has already emptied his locker at Milanello and said goodbye to his friends who will step on the San Siro pitch for the Derby very soon.
The former Manchester City man is ready to join Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole at Galaxy. Antonio Nocerino could be also heading to the MLS with Kaka’s Orlando City interested in his services.
