Zlatan Ibrahimovich has signed a one year contract extension at AC Milan. The new contract will see him play at the San Siro beyond his 40th birthday.

During his first season back at the club, Ibrahimovic’s goals helped Milan secure a Europa League place for the 2020-21 season. He also became the oldest player to score at least 10 goals in a single league campaign.
Ibrahimovic has once again impressed this season, contributing with 17 goals in all competitions and helping second-placed Milan push for the title against leaders Inter Milan. The Rossoneri are on course to qualify for the Champions League for the first time since 2014.
“AC Milan is the club for which Zlatan has played the most in Italy,” the Serie A side said in a statement.
“After scoring 84 goals in 130 appearances with the Rossoneri, the Swedish striker will continue to be wearing the red and black jersey next season.”
“I feel very happy. I waited for this day and now I have another year, which is what is most important to me,” Zlatan told Milan TV.
“I always said, playing for Milan is like being at home.
“I love the way the club makes me feel, all the people who work here, my colleagues, the coach, the fans who I really miss in the stadium.”
AC Milan are on course to playing Champions League football next season and are currently 2nd in Serie A behind City rivals Inter Milan. Ibrahimovich’s presence adds an X-factor to a team which is heavily dependent on youngsters.
