:lux: Ibrahimovic, 38, has returned to Milan on a free transfer with a contract running initially until the end of the season.
To everyone’s shock, he decided to return back to Europe. Why? To prove he isn’t like other humans. To prove that the Lion is still the king of the jungle! Zlatan Ibrahimovic has vowed to help Milan rescue their season after a dreadful campaign so far.
He scored 56 goals in 85 games in his first spell at San Siro, winning Milan’s most recent Serie A title in 2010-11. Now, Milan is struggling, 11th in the table and with half the points of league leaders and city rivals Inter.
With the imminent arrival of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, AC Milan forward Suso’s place in the squad is at risk.
The 26-year-old Spaniard has made 15 appearances for the Milanese club so far this season but has struggled to truly shine, only scoring one goal and providing two assists in this time, despite playing over 1200 minutes.
Suso found more success last season under coach Gennaro Gattuso, scoring eight goals and providing nine assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. He is contracted to the Rossoneri until 2022.
After two years in MLS with LA Galaxy and with his career presumably coming towards its end, some have suggested that Ibrahimovic represents an act of desperation from Milan rather than a quality signing.
At an age when most players are on the decline, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is trying to stretch an already rich career. Thierry Henry and David Beckham returned to Europe at the end of their careers, after an exile across the Atlantic, but without regaining their luster. Succeeding where these stars have failed is a challenge the size of the Zlatan.
Obviously he’s a lot older now, but his impressive form in the US would make one think that he still has the talent to contribute in Europe. At this point, AC Milan has no other options because Piatek is simply not doing the job upfront as their number nine. The club is also looking to bring in a left-back, central defender, and another striker in January if possible.
Ibrahimovic could come up against his old team-mate Ekdal in his first match, with Milan hosting Sampdoria on January 6.
“Egolandia”, Corriere Dello Sport titled, highlighting the challenge between Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The paper added: “Milan announces Ibra. Serie A becomes the challenge of the two phenomena. Cristiano, who considers himself the number one in history and Zlatan, who loves to compare himself to a god. Where the first reigned unchallenged, another champion arrives who does not admit a superman outside himself.”
