AC Milan will keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic on board even though the Swedish striker will probably be out until early 2023. The Seria A champs revealed the news on Monday, announcing they have re-signed Ibrahimovic to a new one-year deal.

According to the club’s official statement, Ibra’s new deal runs until June 30, 2023, and the 40-year-old player will continue to wear No. 11 on his jersey.

Ibrahimovic didn’t play a lot in 2021-22, making only 23 appearances in Seria A due to various injuries. He still managed to contribute with eight goals and three assists, helping the club win their first domestic title in more than a decade.

After the season ended, Ibrahimovic revealed that he had been playing through an ACL injury for the entire second part of the season. He underwent surgery to deal with the injury in late May and will spend at least seven months on the sidelines. But despite the long layoff and the fact that he’ll be 41 in October, it appears that Ibrahimovic is still not ready to say goodbye to soccer.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined Milan for his second spell in 2019 after previously spending years playing in MLS for LA Galaxy. Ibrahimovic, who also won Seria A during his first stint with the club, played 74 games since then and scored 36 goals.

Swedish star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will stay in Italy for at least one more year. AC Milan announced on Monday that Ibrahimovic inked a one-year extension with the team. The deal is reportedly worth around $8 million.

Ibrahimovic joined Milan midway through 2019/20, originally signing until the end of the season. However, the 38-year-old was impressive enough, scoring 11 goals in 20 matches, to warrant another year in Seria A.

“AC Milan is delighted to announce that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has renewed his contract with the club until June 30, 2021,” AC Milan said in a statement.

Ibrahimovic was linked with a move to native Sweden earlier this summer, with Hammarby, the club in which he has partial ownership, reportedly being among his preferred options. Still, it appears that the temptation of playing at the highest level was too good to turn down.

“We had a great last six months, but we haven’t won anything”, said Ibrahimovic to the club’s official website. “This year I’ve got the chance to be here from the start so we’ve got to continue like we were, working hard and sacrificing ourselves to reach our goals.”

This is the second stint for Zlatan Ibrahimovic with Milan, as he already played for the club between 2010 and 2012. During two seasons, he helped the club win the Seria A title and Supercoppa Italiana trophy while scoring 56 goals in 85 matches.

Ibrahimovic also spent time with Ajax, Juventus, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, and LA Galaxy, among other clubs.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic still doesn’t know where he’ll play next season. His contract with AC Milan expires in August, and the 38-year-old forward is unsure if he has a future at San Siro.

Ibrahimovic has been the main figure in Milan’s return to form in the second part of the season, scoring 4 goals and dishing 3 assists in the past six games. Two of those goals came in Tuesday night’s 2-1 win against Sassuolo, which helped his team get to the European League spot in Seria A.

Despite his fine form, however, Ibrahimovic hasn’t heard back from Milan’s brass about a potential contract extension.

“I still have three games, still 10 days, nobody said anything to me, and I don’t expect anything else,” said Ibrahimovic after Sassuolo game via Sky Sport Italia. “There are things that we cannot control, but that seem strange to me, but we are doing great things.”

Most earlier reports suggested that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will leave Milan after his contract expires and return to native Sweden. Ibrahimovic became a minority owner of the Allsvenskan side Hammarby in 2019, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he ends his career with the club.

Ibrahimovic joined Milan for his second stint in December, after previously playing two years in MLS with LA Galaxy. Since arriving in Italy, he played 17 games in all competitions, scoring a total of eight goals and contributing with four assists.

Swedish striker and former LA Galaxy star Zlatan Ibrahimovic might return home in order to finish his playing career. At least that’s the scenario Jesper Jansson, sporting director of Allsvenskan side Hammarby, hopes to see.

Back in 2019, Ibrahimovic bought 23.5 percent of Hammarby and remains invested in the club. He also used the recent Seria A suspension to work out with the club in order to maintain fitness. Jansson now believes that wearing Hammarby’s jersey might be the next step for the 38-year-old striker.

“Probably, I think so. But only Zlatan knows,” Jansson told Swedish media outlet Expressen when asked whether Ibrahimovic would be willing to play for Hammarby next season. “At the moment he hasn’t said anything about it, and I certainly don’t have to tell him that we want him here.”

Jansson also explained that he doesn’t expect former Sweden international to make the decision anytime soon, although the club “would like this idea very much.”

After seeing out his deal with Galaxy last year, Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to return to Europe, signing a short-term deal with AC Milan. And although Ibrahimovic saw a successful start of his second stint with Italian giants, scoring four times in 10 games, there are doubts whether he will remain in the club past this season. Milan is currently rebuilding, and would reportedly like to turn to younger players as part of the process.

Ibrahimovic himself recently admitted that he isn’t sure whether he will stay in Italy, and said that he doesn’t rule out playing again in his native Sweden.

We won’t be witnessing Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s magic on MLS games anymore. LA Galaxy confirmed on Wednesday that Ibrahimovic will be leaving the club after spending two years with the organization. 

It looked like Ibrahimovic and Galaxy would manage to work out a contract extension during the past several days, but the two sides ended up failing to find an agreement.

The 38-year-old first broke the story about his departure, posting a cryptic message on social media in which he thanked the club and the fans for “making him feel alive again.”

Shortly after that, the Galaxy confirmed the news. 

“Since his arrival in 2018, Zlatan has positively influenced the sport of soccer in Los Angeles. We are grateful for his work ethic and passion.” – said LA Galaxy president Chris Klein in a statement. “We thank Zlatan for his professionalism and immeasurable impact on the Los Angeles community and the soccer community in North America as a whole.”

Ibrahimovic joined Galaxy ahead of the 2018 MLS season, and immediately asserted himself as one of the league’s best players. He ended up making 53 appearances with the club and scoring 52 goals while also dishing 17 assists.

According to several reports, Ibrahimovic will most likely continue his career in Europe with AC Milan and Napoli being mentioned as favorites for his signature.

LA Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still not ready to reveal whether he will play in MLS next season. Following the 5-3 loss to LAFC in MLS Western Conference semifinals, Ibrahimovic said that it’s “too early to speak” about his future despite the fact that his contract expires at the end of the year.

Ibrahimovic put on another memorable performance against LAFC, providing one goal and one assist. Still, that wasn’t enough for his team to stay in the MLS Cup race.

Speaking with the reporters after the game, Ibrahimovic said that if he ends up staying, that will benefit the league.

“We’ll see what happens. … [If I stay], then MLS is good, because the whole world will watch it. If I don’t stay, nobody will remember what MLS is.” – said Ibrahimovic.

The 38-year-old Swedish striker joined Galaxy in March 2018. He played 58 games since then and scored 53 goals.

In case that Zlatan Ibrahimovic chooses to leave the United States, there will be plenty of interest from him from other leagues. According to recent reports, Ibrahimovic might be considering a return to Manchester United, which could use a striker considering their attack’s struggles this season. Several Seria A teams are also interested, including Napoli and his old team Inter Milan.

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is currently having another stellar MLS season with Los Angeles Galaxy, having scored 26 goals in 25 games he played in 2019 so far. But considering the fact that his contract is expiring at the end of the season, Galaxy fans are rightfully wondering whether the “Zlatan show” will continue in 2020 as well.

As it turns out, even the Galaxy’s general manager Dennis te Kloese doesn’t have an answer to this question.

Te Kloese recently spoke with ESPN Deportes and told the magazine that they will discuss a contract extension with Ibrahimovic once the season ends.

“We’ve agreed that after the season we will evaluate and look calmly at his personal situation and that of the team,” – said Te Kloese.

Despite this, Te Kloese didn’t hide the fact that the team would love to have him back in the future.

“Zlatan is a very special case,” – he added. “If you watched on Sunday how he helped the team, he is committed to the club, to the fans and it is very special, it’s a luxury to have him.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and LA Galaxy agreed to a new and improved one-year deal before the start of the 2019 MLS season. With the new contract, Ibrahimovic got an annual salary of $7.2 million, which made him the highest-paid player in MLS history.

LA Galaxy’s striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic had an amazing first season in MLS, managing to score 22 goals and provide six assists in only 27 games he played in 2018. Now, the 37-year-old is ready to take things one step further.

Ibrahimovic recently made an appearance during the unveiling of Galaxy’s new kit and told reporters that he intends to “break every record in MLS” this season.

“This season I will bring something for you,” – said Ibrahimovic. “Because they say I’m old, I am looking to break every record in MLS this season.”

After 2018 season wrapped up, there was a lot of talks that Zlatan Ibrahimovic could leave LA Galaxy and return to Europe with Seria A giants Milan being among the interested teams. One of the reasons for this, besides his wish to compete at the highest level, was the fact that he has outplayed his $1.5 million contract.

Ibrahimovic was willing to stay in the United States but only if the club agreed to offer him a bigger salary. Galaxy ended up giving him the Designated Player money, hoping they will get back to being a contender once again.

“After one season in MLS, I know it more now, I know things better” – said Ibrahimovic in a recent interview with CNN. “And I’m excited, I look forward just to start playing again … because I like the MLS after playing one year there, and the first season was like what is waiting, what will happen, how is it, which level it is, and all these things. But now I have everything in my head, so now I just go out on the field and I dominate.”

It looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s magic will live on in Los Angeles. Although he was linked with a return to Europe in the last couple of weeks, Ibra will now resign from the LA Galaxy as a Designated Player according to The Athletic. This won’t be the only deal Galaxy will pull off this week, since the team is expected to appoint Caleb Porter as their new head coach.

Although he signed a two-year deal with Galaxy in March 2018, Zlatan Ibrahimovic largely outplayed his $1.5 million a year contract, scoring 22 goals and providing 10 assists in 27 games. After the end of the 2018 season, Ibrahimovic asked for a raise and even considered joining Seria A powerhouse Milan if his demands are not met.

Los Angeles ended up giving Ibra Designated Player money, but are now facing with another tough decision. Since MLS teams can have only three DP players, Galaxy will have to move on from either Gio dos Santos, Jonathan dos Santos, or Romain Alessandrini before the season starts.

After considering several high-profile names, LA Galaxy decided to turn to Caleb Porter as their next coach. Porter previously served as the coach of Portland Timbers from 2013 to 2017, winning one MLS Cup in the process. He and Timbers mutually parted ways following the end of the 2017 season.

Porter previously had offers from several MLS teams, including Orlando City SC, but decided to turn them down, waiting for the right opportunity.

We won’t be witnessing Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s magic on MLS games anymore. LA Galaxy confirmed on Wednesday that Ibrahimovic will be leaving the club after spending two years with the organization. 

It looked like Ibrahimovic and Galaxy would manage to work out a contract extension during the past several days, but the two sides ended up failing to find an agreement.

The 38-year-old first broke the story about his departure, posting a cryptic message on social media in which he thanked the club and the fans for “making him feel alive again.”

Shortly after that, the Galaxy confirmed the news. 

“Since his arrival in 2018, Zlatan has positively influenced the sport of soccer in Los Angeles. We are grateful for his work ethic and passion.” – said LA Galaxy president Chris Klein in a statement. “We thank Zlatan for his professionalism and immeasurable impact on the Los Angeles community and the soccer community in North America as a whole.”

Ibrahimovic joined Galaxy ahead of the 2018 MLS season, and immediately asserted himself as one of the league’s best players. He ended up making 53 appearances with the club and scoring 52 goals while also dishing 17 assists.

According to several reports, Ibrahimovic will most likely continue his career in Europe with AC Milan and Napoli being mentioned as favorites for his signature.

LA Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still not ready to reveal whether he will play in MLS next season. Following the 5-3 loss to LAFC in MLS Western Conference semifinals, Ibrahimovic said that it’s “too early to speak” about his future despite the fact that his contract expires at the end of the year.

Ibrahimovic put on another memorable performance against LAFC, providing one goal and one assist. Still, that wasn’t enough for his team to stay in the MLS Cup race.

Speaking with the reporters after the game, Ibrahimovic said that if he ends up staying, that will benefit the league.

“We’ll see what happens. … [If I stay], then MLS is good, because the whole world will watch it. If I don’t stay, nobody will remember what MLS is.” – said Ibrahimovic.

The 38-year-old Swedish striker joined Galaxy in March 2018. He played 58 games since then and scored 53 goals.

In case that Zlatan Ibrahimovic chooses to leave the United States, there will be plenty of interest from him from other leagues. According to recent reports, Ibrahimovic might be considering a return to Manchester United, which could use a striker considering their attack’s struggles this season. Several Seria A teams are also interested, including Napoli and his old team Inter Milan.

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is currently having another stellar MLS season with Los Angeles Galaxy, having scored 26 goals in 25 games he played in 2019 so far. But considering the fact that his contract is expiring at the end of the season, Galaxy fans are rightfully wondering whether the “Zlatan show” will continue in 2020 as well.

As it turns out, even the Galaxy’s general manager Dennis te Kloese doesn’t have an answer to this question.

Te Kloese recently spoke with ESPN Deportes and told the magazine that they will discuss a contract extension with Ibrahimovic once the season ends.

“We’ve agreed that after the season we will evaluate and look calmly at his personal situation and that of the team,” – said Te Kloese.

Despite this, Te Kloese didn’t hide the fact that the team would love to have him back in the future.

“Zlatan is a very special case,” – he added. “If you watched on Sunday how he helped the team, he is committed to the club, to the fans and it is very special, it’s a luxury to have him.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and LA Galaxy agreed to a new and improved one-year deal before the start of the 2019 MLS season. With the new contract, Ibrahimovic got an annual salary of $7.2 million, which made him the highest-paid player in MLS history.

LA Galaxy’s striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic had an amazing first season in MLS, managing to score 22 goals and provide six assists in only 27 games he played in 2018. Now, the 37-year-old is ready to take things one step further.

Ibrahimovic recently made an appearance during the unveiling of Galaxy’s new kit and told reporters that he intends to “break every record in MLS” this season.

“This season I will bring something for you,” – said Ibrahimovic. “Because they say I’m old, I am looking to break every record in MLS this season.”

After 2018 season wrapped up, there was a lot of talks that Zlatan Ibrahimovic could leave LA Galaxy and return to Europe with Seria A giants Milan being among the interested teams. One of the reasons for this, besides his wish to compete at the highest level, was the fact that he has outplayed his $1.5 million contract.

Ibrahimovic was willing to stay in the United States but only if the club agreed to offer him a bigger salary. Galaxy ended up giving him the Designated Player money, hoping they will get back to being a contender once again.

“After one season in MLS, I know it more now, I know things better” – said Ibrahimovic in a recent interview with CNN. “And I’m excited, I look forward just to start playing again … because I like the MLS after playing one year there, and the first season was like what is waiting, what will happen, how is it, which level it is, and all these things. But now I have everything in my head, so now I just go out on the field and I dominate.”

It looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s magic will live on in Los Angeles. Although he was linked with a return to Europe in the last couple of weeks, Ibra will now resign from the LA Galaxy as a Designated Player according to The Athletic. This won’t be the only deal Galaxy will pull off this week, since the team is expected to appoint Caleb Porter as their new head coach.

Although he signed a two-year deal with Galaxy in March 2018, Zlatan Ibrahimovic largely outplayed his $1.5 million a year contract, scoring 22 goals and providing 10 assists in 27 games. After the end of the 2018 season, Ibrahimovic asked for a raise and even considered joining Seria A powerhouse Milan if his demands are not met.

Los Angeles ended up giving Ibra Designated Player money, but are now facing with another tough decision. Since MLS teams can have only three DP players, Galaxy will have to move on from either Gio dos Santos, Jonathan dos Santos, or Romain Alessandrini before the season starts.

After considering several high-profile names, LA Galaxy decided to turn to Caleb Porter as their next coach. Porter previously served as the coach of Portland Timbers from 2013 to 2017, winning one MLS Cup in the process. He and Timbers mutually parted ways following the end of the 2017 season.

Porter previously had offers from several MLS teams, including Orlando City SC, but decided to turn them down, waiting for the right opportunity.
