VETERAN former Italy striker Filippo Inzaghi today signed a new one-year contract with AC Milan.
The 36-year-old was due to reach the end of his deal at the San Siro this summer but has committed until the end of June 2011.
Inzaghi joined Milan from Juventus in 2001 but his future was in some doubt until today's confirmation of his extension.
Milan announced the news in a one-sentence statement on their official website, and Inzaghi is now poised to complete a full decade as a Milan player.
His retention follows a poor season by Inzaghi's high standards, however, as he scored just twice in 24 Serie A appearances as Milan finished third behind champions Inter Milan and Roma.
Earlier, Ronaldinho's agent claimed the Brazilian will stay at Milan next season despite speculation linking him with a move away from the San Siro.
The 30-year-old has a year left on his deal with Milan but media reports have linked Manchester City with an approach for the attacking midfielder, who scored 12 goals and provided 15 assists in Serie A last season.
Ronaldinho admitted in an interview with Radio Montecarlo yesterday that he was in the dark over his future at the club, but his brother and agent Roberto De Assis does not share those doubts.
"I think Ronaldinho will stay at Milan," De Assis told Sky Italia.
"There is a contract with the club and we have not spoken about anything else. He is fine in Milan."
Reflecting on a possible move to Eastlands, De Assis added: "Interest from Manchester City? These are questions for the club, but he is happy here."
