Lazio

AC Milan have confirmed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has put pen-to-paper on a new contract until the summer of 2021. The former Sweden international joined the Rossoneri on a short-term deal in January after the expiry of his contract at LA Galaxy. He initially made a slow start to the proceedings, but ended the campaign with 11 goals and five assists from 20 games as the club secured Europa League football.

The Rossoneri were always eager to prolong his stay for another year and they have now officially confirmed that the 38-year-old has signed a fresh deal until next summer, a statement on their website read: “AC Milan is delighted to announce that Zlatan Ibrahimović has renewed his contract with the Club until June 30, 2021.

According to reports the Spanish and Continental champs want Luis Alberto and SergejMilinkovic-Savic to boost their ranks following the impressive display of the duo. There were strong indications Barcelona want Alberto back at the Nou Camp to help the club’s struggling midfield. Serie A likely champions for the seventh successive time Juventus are also reportedly to be in the race for Milinkovic-Savic.

Tare reminded that Lazio were almost sure to qualify for the prestigious Champions League after a very good year so his future as sporting director was not the immediate problem even if his contract runs down in June. He assures that there will be plenty of time to discuss that once the team can get the ticket.
