Nesta: Four more years

Defender Alessandro Nesta has dismissed rumours suggesting he might return to Lazio. “I am staying at Milan for four more years,” he said.

The Rossonero is currently in Miami completing his treatment for the shoulder injury, which has kept him sidelined him since November 26, but he might be back in action by the end of March.

“I have read many things in the papers, including that I would never come back to Italy from Miami,” said Nesta in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Instead, I am coming back on February 26, but I am not considering the idea of returning to Rome. My contract expires in 2008, with my injury I don’t think this is the right time to discuss an extension,” added the former Biancoceleste.

“Moving back to Lazio would make no sense now, that was a wonderful part of my life, but I am still young and I want to play at the highest levels, preferably in the Champions League.”

The player will join the rest of the squad at the end of the month and hopes he will soon end his long convalescence.

“It will still take a few weeks before I can actually touch the ball. Bill Tilson at Milan Lab also joined me here in Miami to help me rehabilitate.

“My future? I don’t know yet. I don’t think I will ever play in the MLS, although I like Miami a lot. If I extend my deal with Milan for four more years, that is where I will end my career.

“I like life in the United States and there would be great opportunities for my children. In any case, I prefer football there rather than in Japan or the Arab nations,” concluded Nesta.

Make it official.

good to hear

maybe, when it's time for him to leave milan, he'll join the other retirees and enter the MLS

He is just being modest... He will be here for longer because Nesta, at 34, will still definitely be World class.

March? That's too late

Good to hear ,but I want to see him sign already

Yeeeeesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




I hope so too! Even at Lazio I'd still love to see him play!!!!!!!!!

He'll be world class till he dies!!

He wont be back till March

I think Maldini and Bonera have been rather good lately, I mean, we have conceeded the least in the league .. That has to count for something .. Still, I would be much happier to see Nesta and Maldini back in the defence ... oooofff that would be

FORZA NESTA! For me he's still the best CB in the world...f@ck Puyol,Terry and all the others!

who?? Not even the die-hardest fanboy of them would claim they're better than the one and only Alessandrrrooooooooo Nesttaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

SANDROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Late March ....... I still think he will recover earlier.

That'll give him time to get match fit for Athens

Concurrence

Man this is good news!
If Maldini gets back in shape, he and Nesta as central backs will be...good.

Nesta is 30 years old so he can play for another 3 or 4 years
He is still one of the best defenders in Europe

one of the best meaning the best by far and Europe is Universe!!!

Good news

Yes thats what i meant

In this moment Nesta is the only player that is missing to this Milan

Good to hear. I'm happy with nesta taking till march if it finally solves all his niggling injuries. Then we can once again see the best centre back in the world back in full flight.

Forza Sandro!

Really good news and i hope he gets better real fast. Cause we need him real bad-

"I'm not going back to Lazio. I want to finish my career in Milan." Nesta

...

There is God after all

Yeah, he's been playing for us since he was a teenager. Been a long time, that number 3 jersey's been on the field..
God choosing to play for the devils, delicious irony.

He is undercover...
