Zlatan Ibrahimovic is expected to be on the bench for AC Milan’s clash against Lazio, having returned to training with the group. And his presence could be very important for the final five games of the season.
The Rossoneri are currently in first place but their city rivals Inter are just two points behind, also with a game in hand. It’s clear that the season finale will be very tough, and that’s why Ibrahimovic has postponed talks about his future.
Initial reports suggested that talks were scheduled for after the World Cup play-offs, but Corriere Dello Sera (via MilanNews) now state that they have been postponed. Given how this season has been, the evaluations on the future must be in-depth.
Ibrahimovic is only focused on the pitch currently and with just five games left, that’s all he wants to think about. If this is his last season with Milan, he wants to make it a good one.
With regards to the future, a lot will be decided by the Swede himself and perhaps also the potential new owners Investcorp. Paolo Maldini is open to a renewal but it’s clear the salary would have to be revised, which Ibrahimovic knows as well.
