Milan will allow Stam departure
Thursday 27 October, 2005
Jaap Stam looks almost certain to quit Milan in the summer after the Rossoneri opened the door for his exit.
The 33-year-old stopper is eager for a return to Holland and a transfer now seems almost inevitable.
"If Stam wants to return to Holland then we will look to please him," stated boss Carlo Ancelotti.
"Milan are not a club who will stand in anybody’s way, but Stam won’t be leaving us before June."
Although happy at Milan, the former Manchester United defender wants to depart for personal reasons.
"Jaap is very content in Italy and is contracted to the club for another two years," his agent Henk Van Ginkel stated this week.
"However, Stam wants to go back home to Holland so that he can totally dedicate himself to his family.
"Two clubs have already said they are interested in him. We’ll now have to speak to Milan and see what can be done."
It’s understood that PSV Eindhoven, where Stam played between 1996-1998, and Heerenveen are keen on his signature.
However, the player maintains that he wants to leave the European giants on a high if possible.
"I will make a decision on my future at the end of this season," stated the signing from Lazio.
"But my only thought right now is to win something important with Milan first."
