Sweden’s defeat against Poland last night in their World Cup play-off final means that Zlatan Ibrahimovic does not have Qatar on his horizon.
Some speculated that Sweden not being at the World Cup could force him to consider retiring, but the words of Ibrahimovic after the game strongly suggested that he wishes to continue playing as long as his physical condition holds up.
MilanNews reports that there will be reflections at the end of the season based on the Achilles tendon problem that took much longer than expected to get over, and in order to remain at the club he will now have to accept being a supporting player and no longer the main star.
Milan have chosen not to make any moves regarding Ibrahimovic’s renewal at the moment and everything will be discussed at the end of the season. The increasingly probable arrival of Divock Origi testifies to the fact that the management are thinking of a post-Ibra era, but does not mean that the present Swede might not renew with a lesser role and a lesser salary.
