Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s future has been subject to intense speculation over the last year. Ever since he confirmed that he would be leaving PSG, Zlatan has been linked to a number of clubs like Manchester United, LA Galaxy and AC Milan, however, there has been no confirmation on where he will join.
The 34-year-old is a free agent this season and the Swedish superstar said that he already knew where he will be playing in the future.
"I know where I will be going next season, but I will not be saying where tonight!" the striker toldbeIN Sports.
Ibrahimovic signed off in style on Saturday evening, scoring twice in PSG’s 4-0 win over Nantes to break Carlos Bianchi’s record. The striker who ended the Ligue 1 season with 38 goals now holds the record for being PSG’s highest scorer in a single Ligue 1 season.
He took time to praise his team-mates:
“This is a fantastic group, it is even the best group I've played. I will miss this team,” he said.
“We knew what we wanted on the first day of the project and we are proud of what we achieved.
“I hope they will continue [to be successful] because the project is huge. I'm not worried.
“I never cry usually, but when I saw enter my children, I had tears in my eyes.
“I am very grateful to the French people. I had to give them the best of myself.”
Return to AC Milan possible for Zlatan – Agent
Zlatan Ibrahimovic could make a return to AC Milan next season according to his agent Mino Raiola. The enigmatic Swede has once again been in terrific form this season leading his team to the Ligue 1 and the Coupe de la Ligue titles.
The 34-year-old has scored a career best 44 goals in just 47 appearances and continues to be a dominant force. AC Milan could make do with his services as the historic club is languishing on the 7th place in Serie A and is set to miss out on an European spot for the third year in a row.
The club, one of the best in history, has been struggling for a while now and desperately need some firepower in their ranks if they want to regain their old swagger and compete for top places next season.
Only Gianluigi Donnarumma, the young goalkeeper, seems to be performing at a world class level with the rest of his teammates simply not able to match him. The strike force of Mario Balotelli, Keisuke Honda, Carlos Bacca and Jeremy Menez has been ineffective and poor.
If Ibrahimovic was to return next season, he would definitely be an upgrade for them and can provide some much-needed confidence going forward. His contract expires this summer with all the top clubs across Europe interested in his services.
He has also plied his trade at Juventus and Inter Milan apart from his time with the Rossoneri in Serie A. And now Mino Raiola has started the mind games by telling Italian GO magazine, “ Ibrahimovic could return to Italy, to Milan.”
The whole footballing world is waiting with bated breath to see where Zlatan will be playing next season.
