OFFICIAL: Ibrahimovic extends his Milan contract until June 2023

Zlatan, who turns 41 in October, has enjoyed a long and well-travelled career that’s seen him represent Malmo, Ajax, Juventus, Internazionale, Barcelona, Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Los Angeles Galaxy. He rejoined Milan in 2020.

And, despite his advancing years, his second spell at San Siro has been a roaring success. His leadership was a key part of Milan’s Scudetto victory in 2021/22, their first in over a decade, since Zlatan’s first spell at the club. The Swede contributed a total of eight goals and three assists in 23 Serie A appearances.

Next for Milan is to defend their crown. And that won’t be easy – Juventus are working hard to strengthen during the summer, as are Internazionale. One thing for sure is that Zlatan will be a key part of Milan’s setup in 2022/23 – on and off the pitch.

Serious knee injury

Ibrahimovic injured his left knee on May 25 with the injury requiring him to undergo surgery.

The Swedish giant, however, decided to wait until the end of the season to undergo surgery and is expected to return sometime during the beginning of 2023.

AC Milan:

AC Milan is pleased to announce the renewal of Zlatan Ibrahimović's contract until June 30, 2023. The Swedish forward will continue to wear the number 11 shirt.
