Van Buyten tempted by Milan
Veteran defender Daniel van Buyten has revealed that he is prepared
to end his career at Bayern Munich, despite interest from Italian
giants AC Milan.
Van Buyten recently penned a two-year extension to his
current deal at the Allianz Arena after declining an offer to sign
for the Rossoneri, but the Belgium international admitted that he
was tempted by a move to Serie A.
The 32-year-old told L'Equipe: "I received two beautiful
propositions, and one of them really made me hesitate. It came from
AC Milan.
"The Milan officials told me to wait a little, but I didn't
have a lot of time.
"With Bayern, there were some difficulties during
negotiations as I let them know that a one-year contract was not
exciting for me.
"Then I scored some goals and everything was sorted out quite
quickly."
The imposing defender was coy over his future beyond his new
deal, but admitted that he would consider ending his career with
Bayern.
He added: "I will first play my two additional years. Then,
why not extend my contract again?"
