Ibrahimovic and the end of his career? The Swedish canon explains why we probably won’t see him again next season

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now spoken again about his future. Will he hang up his cleats at the end of this season? This is a question that cannot be taken lightly, in the ideal scenario he is said to be ready to actually end his active career.

Every football fan knows his name. The Swedish cannonballer is showing his qualities even in his advanced football age, although he has played only 30 minutes in the last four matches.

The reason is Ibrahimovic’s cautious return from an achilles injury. AC Milan last missed him in games against Inter, Sampdoria, Salernitana and Udinese.

But as it happens, as a rule, as you get older, various injuries come with age, and although the Malmö native has not directly admitted this fact, he will be ready to end his rich career in some ideal scenario.

According to the Italian website Football Italia, which quotes the words of the well-known Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ibrahimovic will end his career provided AC either win the championship title or triumph in the Italian Cup (Coppa Italia) this year.

The 40-year-old football icon’s contract at the San Siro expires on June 30, and Ibrahimovic has not held any talks with the club’s management about an extension.

Sweden’s elimination from the World Cup play-offs could also be a deciding factor. Ibrahimovic is currently the highest earning player in the Rossoneri cabinet. According to his contract, the Swede earns seven million euros a year.

So if the Rossoneri reach the top, we can almost certainly expect the end of Ibrahimovic’s career.

Moreover, the AC Milan management already has two strikers on its radar. According to the latest information, the transfer of Divock Origi from Liverpool is imminent, who would join Milan as a free agent.

The other potential acquisition is Gianluca Scamacca, who is currently playing for Sassuolo. The Rome native has so far played 29 games in the current campaign, scoring thirteen goals, whereupon he has been in really solid form this season.
