The Holland midfielder swapped Bayern Munich for AC Milan in January and the Rossoneri retain the option to extend his five-month deal for a further year.

Should that not happen, Van Bommel is likely to have plenty of other options with former club PSV Eindhoven and Tottenham known admirers.

The 33-year-old's representative Mino Raiola told Voetbal International: "There is still nothing certain - only that PSV are the only Dutch option for him.

"If Milan were deciding today they would keep him. He is a very important player for them.

"But as he only came in the winter window we decided together that only in May would we look to the future."
