Last week, French Foot Mercato claimed that Milan will not offer Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new contract. Now Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo – who follows the Milan club closely – follows up with new, consistent reports surrounding the 41-year-old superstar.
According to the information, Ibrahimovic’s future in Milan is uncertain and there is a risk that he will leave the club this summer, which is in line with previous information. Longo writes that sporting director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Ricky Massara have “enormous respect” for what the Swede has achieved for Milan during his two stays at the club.
The respect also makes the decision extra difficult for Milan’s management, according to the site. The reason behind the doubts about an extension is Ibrahimovic’s recurring injury problems in recent years. Calciomercato claims that the Swede himself, however, is keen to play one more season.
A meeting between Milan and Ibrahimovic was booked in the past few days, but the parties have now agreed to postpone all talks until after the season instead. This is so that the 41-year-old will have time to think about his future and evaluate the current situation he finds himself in.
In conclusion, Calciomercato writes that Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is currently injured, has intentions to start a coaching career shortly. It thus remains to be seen if the Swede will sit on the coach’s or player’s bench next season.
