Likewise Mark Van Bommel has also agreed to extend his six month stay until June 30 2012.
The Dutchman proved vital in the Rossoneri's Scudetto success seeing him come in to replace the injured Pirlo. Despite offer a different dimension to the game than the midfield Maestro the ex-Bayern Munich player won of the hearts of the fans through his consistency.
Thiago Silva was also brought in to extend his contract by another 4 years seeing it end in 2016. The Brazilian is undoubtedly one of the fans favourite and it looks like he is set to write his name in the history book of Legends for Milan.
Finally it was Alessandro Nesta and Pippo Inzaghi's chance to meet with Galliani. The future os Nesta was in doubt but all possibility of a retire was squashed when he and his fellow friend Inzaghi extended their contract by one more year.
