Ahead of the crucial game between AC Milan and Dinamo Zagreb this evening, Zlatan Ibrahimovic spoke to the media and refused to share any concrete updates on the transfer market.
Milan have been heavily linked with Santiago Gimenez in recent days, but the negotiations are complicated due to Feyenoord’s high demands. With over €20m at stake in today’s game, in prize money that is, many have suggested that the pursuit of the striker is linked to the result.

When interviewed by Sky Italia, as cited by MilanNews, Ibrahimovic insisted that their potential signing of Gimenez doesn’t depend just on tonight’s game. He also made it clear that the transfer market in general is difficult, giving very little away.
Today’s game is indeed worth a lot of money, no matter what Ibrahimovic says, as a win would see them secure at least around €23m. It could be even more depending on their final position in the standings.
Milan return to European competition, is this the most prestigious match for you as a director?
“I always say that the next game is the most important. They are all important, today this is the important one. If we win we finish in the top 8, a very important game.”
It has been one month of Conceiçao, how is it going?
“Good, the team are adapting. They accept his way of working. He plays every 3 days, he hasn’t had much time for training. But it’s going well.”
Could today be important in the pursuit of Gimenez?
“Our mercato does not depend on today’s victory. I cannot give you any news, we are working. It is not an easy market but we are working.”
Glad it doesn’t because in that first half we were awwwwfuuulll
If Gimenez sees this match, he’ll change his mind for sure about joining us.
Ha!
🤡
Maldini out…Ibra in… genius move 😆😆
I said many times, Ibra has no intelectual and mental capacity for this job. He does not have any school, education… He is arogant and selfpromoting. Just compare how Maldini talk and behave and Ibra.
Yes it does. Shut up and stop acting cool. Lame cow.
His signing is more urgent than ever. We simply don’t have strikers.
But the player got injured so why not Jonathan David rn before a better offer comes
And now Gimenez has been taken off injured in the Feyenoord Lille match.
Juuuuuust great…
Ibrahimovic please go and get us a solid attacking midfielder and stop telling us stories.
Well, from what I read in spanish-language websites, fortunately it seems like it was nothing serious.
From a hero to a villain – my my Zlatan what a fall from grace
He shows no interest in learning and improving as a director as evidenced by his lack of DAILY participation with the club and players. Hell he went on vacation the last 2 weeks of the summer transfer window and had the balls to say our market was perfect and we were a complete team – and 6 months later we tried to dump 3 out of the 4 main players – Emerson Morata and Pavlovic.
DISASTER
IF he really loved the club he would resign and go be a good will ambassador who just poses for pictures like Baresi.
We need serious EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS to run our club and not this current clown show
We are NOT a serious club
