La Stampa: Why Ibrahimovic’s return to Milan continues to be postponed

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been heavily linked with a return to AC Milan in recent weeks, with multiple reports stating that the announcement is imminent. However, as a new report claims, there is still one key thing to work out. 

Milan are keen on bringing Ibrahimovic back to the club and the Swede is seemingly intrigued by the opportunity. He has had more than one meeting with the owner Gerry Cardinale and yesterday, he was present at San Siro once again.

According to La Stampa, as cited by MilanNews, the announcement has been postponed a few times already and that’s because the final details need to be resolved. The role that Ibrahimovic will have – within RedBird and Milan – must be fully defined before the parties can move forward.

In other words, it’s not just a matter of finding the best timing for the announcement. Ibrahimovic is in constant contact with the club and the feeling is that a solution will be found eventually, but for now the timeline remains rather uncertain.

As mentioned, the 42-year-old was present for Milan’s game against Frosinone yesterday and sat in the VIP section, behind the likes of CEO Giorgio Furlani and technical director Geoffrey Moncada.
