"I am staying at Milan for four more years," Nesta told Italian paper La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Moving back to Lazio would make no sense now that was a wonderful part of my life. But I am still young and I want to play at the highest levels, preferably in the Champions League."

The Italian international defender was linked with a move to Lazio after suffering a string of injuries which limited his number of appearances for Milan.

Meanwhile, Nesta, who has been on the sidelines since November due to a shoulder injury, revealed he will be back to action on the 26th of February.
