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.

Despite leaving Manchester United more than a year ago, LA Galaxy’s star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic still closely follows his former club. As a matter of fact, he is so fond of Man Utd that he recently decided to offer them help in the wake of Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez departures.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Ibrahimovic discussed his form in 2019 and said that he could still play in English Premier League at a high level even at the age of 37. He then jokingly sent a message to Manchester to contact him if they need some help on attack.

“I could play easily in the Premier League, so if United need me, I’m here,” – said Ibrahimovic. “But Galaxy has me, so I’m sorry.”

Ibrahimovic then reiterated that he is focused on Galaxy and making an impact in MLS.

“Nah, I did my job in Europe. I enjoyed it, I have 33 trophies that I brought with me here and hopefully, I can get something here,” – he added. “And then we will see where that adventure finishes.”

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is having another impressive MLS season in 2019, having scored 13 goals and provided three assists in 16 games played. His Galaxy is currently sitting at the fourth place in Western Conference with 13-3-11 record.

It might be hard to imagine Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a front-office job, but LA Galaxy star wouldn’t run away from one when he retires. During a recent interview with Netherlands’ De Telegraaf, Ibrahimovic said that he is interested in becoming sporting director at his former club Ajax.

“Normally I don’t return to clubs where I have already played, but maybe after my career, I can become a director at Ajax,” – said Ibrahimovic. “Then I would do a better job than anyone who is sitting there now. ”

Ibrahimovic spent four years with Ajax, from 2001 to 2004, scoring 35 goals for the club in 75 appearances. During his time in the Netherlands, Swedish striker won two Eredivisie titles alongside KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield trophies.

“Ajax is still my club in the Netherlands, and I am proud to have been part of it, especially when I see how they present themselves in Europe. They have done what nobody expected and produce players that they are used to producing. It’s wonderful to see,” – he added.

Soccer fans hope, however, that the end of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s soccer career is still far away. The 37-year-old continued to be a prolific goal scorer in 2019 MLS season, managing to get 13 goals in 16 matches. He also dished three assists.

Although LA Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic is arguably MLS’ biggest star, this status still doesn’t help him avoid fines handed by the league. MLS’ Disciplinary Committee announced on Friday that Ibrahimovic is fined for “simulation/embellishment.” The amount that the Swedish forward will have to give up remained undisclosed.

The incident happened in the first half of Galaxy’s 3-1 loss to Columbus Crew when Ibrahimovic tried to trick the referee into getting a penalty kick. The 37-year-old was trying to get to ball in the penalty area, but when Crew’s goalie Zack Steffen got to it first, he decided to dive although there was no contact between him and Steffen.

You can watch the incidents in the video below starting at 1:15 mark.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been playing exceptionally so far in the season, showing that his great form in 2018 wasn’t a coincidence. He played nine MLS games in 2019 and scored nine goals, two less than league-leading LAFC’s Carlos Vela, while providing two assists. This helped Galaxy to 7-1-3 record and second place in the Western Conference.

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.”

Finishing the 2018 MLS season with 22 goals in 27 matches, Zlatan Ibrahimovic proved that LA Galaxy made the right move when they lured him to the United States from Manchester United. But, if Galaxy wants to keep Ibrahimovic in 2018, the club will have to make some effort.

During the end-of-season meetings, Ibrahimovic told reporters that there is an interest for his services from European clubs, but that his priority is Galaxy. The 37-year-old striker also said that he would stay in MLS if LA meets his “wishes and demands.”

“I have some wishes and demands which [are] simple things,” – said Ibrahimovic. “There is interest in Europe, but my priority is Galaxy. They have wishes, I have wishes, but I’m optimistic, and I’m positive.“

“If I belong to Galaxy, I am a Galaxy player. If I belong to one club, I give my attention to one club, so I am here,” – he added.

It is believed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s “wishes and demands” include a bigger salary, considering the fact that he is only earning $1.5 million a year according to his current contract. However, if LA Galaxy wants to boost his pay, the team will have to say goodbye to one of their designated players; Giovani dos Santos, Jonathan dos Santos or Romain Alessandrini.

The good news for Galaxy fans is that the team is already working on a new contract with Ibrahimovic, with president Chris Klein saying that the initial talks have been “promising.”

“What he did this year is certainly well documented,” – said Klein. “He wants to win and we want to win with him. Hopefully, we can come to a resolution that is good for both sides.“

LA Galaxy’s striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic came to Major League Soccer just nine months ago, and he is already taking over the league. Ibra not only managed to score impressive 22 goals in 26 matches and push Galaxy towards the playoffs but also became the most popular player in the league during that time.

MLS official store just released the players who have the bestselling jerseys in MLS in this year, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic already made it on top. Carlos Vela, who plays for the Galaxy’s cross rivals LAFC is on the second place while Atlanta United’s Josef Martinez is ranked third.

Another newcomer, D.C.United’s Wayne Rooney, is on the fourth spot while Atlanta United’s Miguel Almiron, who had the best-selling jersey in 2017, is fifth.

A look at the top five.

Having the best-selling jersey might be just one of many achievements Zlatan Ibrahimovic accomplishes this year. He was recently nominated for several awards, including MLS MVP, Newcomer of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he managed to win them all.

While soccer fans in the United States are surely hoping to enjoy in Ibrahimovic’s performances for years to come, they might be disappointed at the end of the season. Ibra was linked with several notable clubs after impressive performances in MLS and might return to Europe after just one season. His salary demands could also be an issue, and LA Galaxy’s front office will have to make a real effort if they want to keep him in the U.S. for years to come.
