Numerous world media reported that Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is now more closer than ever to returning to Milan in January.
Ibrahimovic was sold to PSG during the summer of 2012, but admitted he did not want to leave San Sira.
Rumors about his return have been around for months, and the Sky and Calciomercato state that the player and club are getting closer to the deal. Currently, Zlatan’s agent Mino Raiola is in contact with the technical director of Milan.
It is believed that Ibrahimovic will agree to an annual salary of four million euros, but the problem is the length of the contract. Ibrahimovic wants a guaranteed 18-month contract. His contract with LA Galaxy expires at the end of the upcoming MLS season, so compensation will also be needed.
Zlatan Ibrahimović is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a forward for LA Galaxy.

In the summer of 2009, he moved to Barcelona in one of the world’s most expensive transfers, before returning to Italy the following season, joining Milan in a deal that made him one of the highest-paid players in the world. He won another Scudetto with Milan in the 2010–11 season, before joining Paris Saint-Germain in July 2012. During his four-season stay in France, Ibrahimović won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles, three Coupes de la Ligue, two Coupes de France and was the top scorer in Ligue 1 for three seasons. He was named in the FIFA World XI for 2013. In October 2015, he became PSG’s all-time leading goalscorer and finished his PSG career with 156 goals in 180 competitive matches.
