Expiring contract

In all probability, AC Milan will continue to rely on the services of center forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the coming season. As Paolo Maldini, the technical director of the Rossoneri, announced on the streaming service “DAZN”, the 40-year-old also wants to add another season.

“Zlatan knows what he wants, he doesn’t pretend, he knows what the possible agreement with Milan could look like. If he doesn’t feel like continuing, he’s the first to say so,” said Maldini as part of the derby win against city rivals Inter on Saturday. “His idea is to continue. Zlatan will never be a burden to this team, he is always a resource.”

Ibrahimovic, with a market value of 4 million euros still the most valuable player of his year worldwide, switched to AC from the MLS club Los Angeles Galaxy on a free transfer in January 2020 and initially for six months including an option. After the end of the season and ten Ibrahimovic goals (6 assists) in 18 Serie A games, Milan pulled the option for a further year, in April 2021 the Swede then extended it again until summer 2022.
