Botafogo target Seedorf confirms AC Milan exit

Clarence Seedorf has announced that his 10-year relationship with AC Milan has ended.

The 36-year-old midfielder held a press conference at the club’s HQ on Thursday where he confirmed that he will leave once his contract expires at the end of this month.

''I'm happy that I can dedicate this conference to my time at Milan,'' Seedorf said.

''You'll know my future soon, in a few days, but I can confirm that I've never had as many offers as I have currently got.

''I need to evaluate everything and I'll take my time as I did when I left Inter to join Milan. I'll consider everything which is important to me, including the needs of my wife and kids.

''Milan are like a family for me, I've spent more time with people here over the last decade than I have with my own family.''

Reports in Brazil are suggesting that Botafogo are leading the race to sign the former Holland international.
