Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns on one condition.
The future of Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The wait between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and AC Milan has been going on for some time. According to Corriere della Sera, from the date of his retirement, it was clear that he would be welcome at Milanello, should the Swedish player choose to actively return to soccer. However, the relative tranquility of Ibra, who discovered the business during weeks without training, is becoming an urgency in view of the team's difficulties and tensions in the locker room. After Paolo Maldini's farewell, in fact, a charismatic and experienced figure is missing, even if the management staff è competent. A talent like Zlatan can serve Stefano Pioli, with whom there's been some disagreement but without consequences for their sincere and established relationship, but above all to the team.
Milan è have been searching for Ibrahimovic for weeks, with president Paolo Scaroni openly stating: "The doors are open, but he has to decide what he wants to do when he grows up". However, the real issue is not è money or the management of his many personal advertising contracts. The motivations seem to be there, as shown by an interesting backstory reported by the Milanese newspaper: "Ibrahimovic, after the derby-choc, reportedly confessed that he felt a jolt during his last visit to Milanello. The call of the camp? Who knowsà "
However, the main obstacle concerns the role Ibrahimovic should play and the freedom of action he might have. The Swedish striker has not changed his mind: he wants to be a protagonist on the field and also off it. He will not accept part-time or representative positions: if he returns to Milan, he will do so to actively help out, without being a symbol of the past. "I don’t want to be a symbol of the past, if I return è to make a difference"” said Ibrahimovic a few weeks ago. Now it is up to the player and the club to find a mutually satisfactory solution.
