The Swedish striker is currently recovering from a knee injury and is facing a roughly six-month recovery period. Hence the pay cut.
This legend of world football is to have his earnings reduced by 6 and a half million dollars, specifically from the original seven million Ibrahimovic is to collect 2.5 million under the new agreement.
However, this is not the first time he has shown that he is willing to sacrifice for the Rossoneri. In fact, he played a large part of last season with pain in his knee, which doctors had to regularly inject him with.
But Zlatan’s response was clear – “I promised to lead AC Milan to the Scudetto, ” he said at a press conference.
After Milan coach Stefano Pioli brought Ibrahimovic over from LA Galaxy in January 2020, the Swedish international played in 74 games, scoring 36 goals.
