AC Milan are set to begin negotiations over a contract renewal with 29-year-old defensive midfielder Nigel de Jong.

The Dutch international completed his move to the San Siro in the summer of 2012 following a switch from Premier League side Manchester City.

According to Tuttosport, Milan officials are looking to lock up a deal for the Dutchman whose contract is set to expire next June, with the Rossoneri reportedly hopeful of reaching an agreement before the close of the summer transfer window.

Milan’s eagerness to re-sign de Jong appears to be a response in fending off interest from Manchester United boss and fellow countryman Louis van Gaal who is rumored to be interested in obtaining the services of the defensive midfielder.

De Jong who is coming off an impressive World Cup run with the Netherlands has netted three goals in a total of 60 appearances with the Rossoneri.
