Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now just one step away from returning to AC Milan. He has been in talks with the club owner Gerry Cardinale for quite some time and in recent days, the negotiations have been accelerated.
Ibrahimovic had a meeting with Cardinale on Monday evening, discussing the potential role he would have. The conversation lasted for two hours and the Swede left the hotel with a smile on his face, clearly pleased with what he heard.
According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, the role proposed to Ibrahimovic is ‘External consultant’. Even though he will technically be hired by RedBird and not Milan, he will work closely with the team at Milanello and for away games as well, per the report.
Ibrahimovic will have a direct line with the directors of Milan for continuous discussions, which in turn could lead to ideas that can improve the overall structure of the club. It has previously also been reported that the Swede could work with Cardinale on a few other projects as well.
Regardless of the role, Ibrahimovic’s return to the club is really close. Only the final details need to be solved, according to Longo, and then the champion will be back.
