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.”

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.

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.

When Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed with LA Galaxy, most people expected that the 36-year-old striker will play for several years in Los Angeles and end his career there. But it looks like Ibra isn’t quite sure that he wants to spend the next season at Galaxy.

“I don’t know. This I have to discuss,” – Ibrahimovic told reporters on Sunday when asked about his future. “This is not the moment to talk about that. It’s something I’ll discuss with the club. What they want, what I want. So let’s see.“

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sensational in his debut season with LA Galaxy, scoring 17 goals in 22 games so far. But, his goals didn’t translate to many wins and Galaxy now finds itself struggling to make the playoffs. This is something Ibra isn’t accustomed to.

“It’s a different challenge,” – he said. “The team I played for [before], I had that feeling like we were unbeatable. Nobody can destroy us. We will destroy everybody.”

While Ibrahimovic has another year left on his deal with Galaxy, his stay will depend in large of his salary next season. He is earning $1.5 million this year; a figure he believes is too small for his production and will undoubtedly demand a raise.

In case that Galaxy isn’t willing to honor his request, Ibra could head back to his native Sweden. According to reports, he already has an offer to return to Malmo; the team he made his professional debut for.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is coming to Major League Soccer. The 36-year-old striker has agreed to a mutual contract termination with Manchester United on Thursday and has reportedly agreed to sign a deal with MLS side LA Galaxy. Ibrahimovic’s move to MLS should be finalized until the end of the week.

“Everyone at the club would like to thank Zlatan for his contribution to the team since his arrival and wishes him well for the future.” – said Man Utd in a statement.

Although there were reports that LA Galaxy was close to bringing Zlatan Ibrahimovic to MLS, it looks like “Ibra” has other plans. The rumors of him signing a new contract with Manchester United have been circling in the preseason, but have intensified recently. ESPN reports that multiple sources confirmed Zlatan’s stay at Old Trafford is a certain thing. Both Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho and Zlatan have previously expressed a desire to make this happen, but the only problem was Zlatan’s knee injury. Mourinho said they “were not in a hurry” and that they will address the situation after Zlatan recovers. Ibrahimovic’s contract expired in June, and he has been a free agent ever since. Although many clubs wanted to sign him despite the injury, it looks like Zlatan has his mind set on Manchester.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a knee ligament injury in April in Europa League clash against Anderlecht, which supposed to keep him from the pitch until early 2018. However, Zlatan looks to be recovering much faster than anticipated and the new contract could be on the table this week if he proves he is back to full fitness. The terms of the contract are still unknown, but according to Daily Star, Ibrahimovic will have to take a big pay-cut compared to his last contract which saw him earning close to $400,000 a week.

In his first season at the club, Zlatan managed to make a great impact. He impressed the fans with 28 goals but also had a big influence in the dressing room. Although Zlatan was the first choice for striker position last season, that won’t be the case in 2017/2018. Manchester United signed Romelu Lukaku who already scored 3 goals, and proved to be an excellent choice up front.Still, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a magnificent player and he will certainly find a way to make an impact once again.
