04 Dec Ibrahimovic drops major hint over next move

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has dropped a major hint over his next move after departing MLS side LA Galaxy.

Ibrahimovic, who is currently a free agent, looks certain to continue his career in Italy with AC Milan heavily linked to the veteran striker.

It would be the star Swede’s second stint with the Rossoneri having enjoyed a prolific two-year stint at the San Siro.

He netted 56 goals in 86 games while firing Milan to their 18th and last league title in 2011.

Ibrahimovic told GQ Italia: "I will join a club that must get back to winning, that has to renew its history and is in search of a battle against everyone and everything.

“That is the only way I’ll be able to find the necessary motivation to surprise you again.

"It’s not just about choosing a team, as there are other factors that need to line up, including in the interests of my family.

“I’ll see you in Italy soon.”

Ibrahmovic’s management was approached by A-League club Perth Glory over a short-term guest stint, but a deal failed to materialise.

The 38-year-old has played some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Milan, Ajax, Inter Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
