Zlatan Ibrahimovic to extend his contract with AC Milan for another year La Gazzetta dello Sport. According to the pink sports newspaper, both parties will discuss the new agreement during the upcoming transfer period. Ibrahimovic must be detained in Milan until mid-2023. The Swede’s current contract expires next summer.
According to the above newspaper, Ibrahimovic feels good at Milan and the club is pleased with his performance. It is therefore expected that both parties will reach a new agreement without too many obstacles. Ibrahimovic is considered a big earner in the selection of AC Milan and earns an annual salary of seven million euros. The attacker returned to the top Milanese club in 2020, after he was hired from Barceona in the 2010/11 season and made a permanent switch to Italy a year later.
This season, the attacker has been plagued by injuries for the time being. Ibrahimovic has scored three goals in eight games in all competitions to date. To make matters worse, he also lost his base place in the Swedish national team in the decisive World Cup qualifier against Spain (1-0 loss). National coach Janne Andersson preferred Alexander Isak in the striker position. Despite this, Ibrahimovic is determined to go with Sweden to the World Cup in Qatar next year. Due to the defeat against Spain, Andersson’s team has been sentenced to play-offs.
In addition to the contract extension of Ibrahimovic, AC Milan also wants to extend the collaboration with Theo Hernández, Ismaël Bennacer and Rafael Leão. The extensions of Alessio Romagnoli and Franck Kessié are also among the priorities, but neither player is expected to renew their contracts, meaning they will walk out for free next summer. Both Romagnoli and Kessié have a contract until mid-2022. I Rossoneric will announce the contract extension of trainer Stefano Pioli until June 2024 in the coming days, Fabrizio Romano reported.
