Sometimes they come back. Zlatan Ibrahimovic wants to write a new chapter of his career, he wants to go back where he felt at home - to AC Milan. The desire is to increase the tally of 42 goals in the Rossoneri shirt during his time at the San Siro from 2010 to 2012.

The need of Gattuso is to raise the bar of the group with a great champion like the Swedish striker. The Milan coach today, for the very first time, clearly opened to the return of Ibrahimovic to Milan during the pre-match press conference ahead of the match against Lazio.

The agreement with Zlatan himself is almost in place and the Rossoneri management are ever so confident of a positive conclusion of the deal. The basis of the contract negotiations are 6 months and a salary of 3 million euros net. In the case of Champions League qualification, Ibrahimovic would receive an automatic extension for the 2019/20 season.
