GdS: Ibrahimovic will not be at Milan-Sassuolo – the reason

AC Milan are back in action on Saturday night as they face off against Sassuolo at San Siro, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic will reportedly not be present.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, Ibrahimovic will not be at the Sassuolo game. Those who were expecting him to be close to the team and Stefano Pioli in a difficult moment might have been surprised to see his latest video on social media.

Ibrahimovic was on the beach in Miami performing an overhead kick to the music of Dr. Dre. Given that this is 8,000 miles away from Milanello, this ‘Christmas holiday’ in Miami could well be something he already had planned before his signing with RedBird as an AC Milan advisor.

The newspaper asks the question, will this be the case for his role in general and will he not be required to work every day? We’ll find out in the coming months, but he will not be at the game on Saturday.

He was present at Salernitana-Milan alongside CEO Giorgio Furlani. This is why it was very striking to see him appear, on the afternoon of Boxing Day, on an American beach instead of on the paths of Milanello.
