I'd like to think its more to making that decision than the money involved. Sure it helps but if we have a great year (especially defensively) I could see him being more inclined to show his stuff next to possibly one of the best CBs in the game and in front of the best goalie in the game. A young player dreams to play next to those kinds of players, not in front of Dida or next to players like Favalli. I think Kjaer would seriously consider an offer from us, regardless if Milans his higher.
I agree with Dusan, pay the money. He is worth it and if we are willing to pay that knowing that financially we aren't as strong as Milan will also show that we are committed and have faith in him. There are different angles you need to look at, I would like to think that a young talent like him would be looking out for more than just money. If we do well this year, like I said earlier especially in defense, then I don't see why he would object to a move to a team with a new stadium, long term project and a clear vision. Right now Milan would look far too unstable for me to want to go to when my career is just blossoming. Looking out for his best interests will go behind money, especially if he wants a successful career. Look at Gourcuff/Flamini...younger talents not doing so well there.
We show more faith I think to youngsters than Milan do in terms of play time with Pato their only exception.
