Ibrahimovic’s demands
The only club that has really been relevant for Ibra is his beloved Milan. Milan have also been open that they would love to have him in a role at the club, after he showed great leadership as a player. Paolo Scaroniclub president, recently said that it is now up to Ibrahimovic himself if and when he wants to join.
– The question should be asked of Zlatan. Me and Gerry Cardinale (the club’s owner) has shown that we are available and open to him coming back. Then it’s up to Ibra. Our door is open, but it seems that he himself has to think carefully about what he wants, Scaroni told Sportbladet.
