AC Milan need to change their situation to keep me at the club next season, proclaims Zlatan Ibrahimovic

A key reason for that has been Zlatan Ibrahimović’s arrival with the former AC Milan and Inter Milan striker adding a new dimension to the club. While the Swede has only managed to net five goals in eleven appearances, his work-ethic and hold-up play has helped push Milan forward. But with Ralf Rangnick set to take over and replace Pioli as manager, Zlatan admitted that it’s a move that could see him leave the club at the end of this season.

“Ibra plays to win something or he stays at home. They told me that retiring in America was too easy, so I came back to Milan. I am here purely for passion, because I'm basically playing for free...Then this Covid situation stopped everything and I thought, maybe there’s something trying to tell me that I should retire... Fortunately, we got back on the pitch. My calf managed to get involved too, but after two days I was ready to come back into the team,” Ibrahimovic said in an interview La Gazzetta dello Sport's Sportweek magazine reported Goal.
