Since Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to Milan, there has been much speculation as to whether Spring will be the last time he will play at the club, or whether it will be an extension over the next season.

Now former big back Paolo Maldini, who is now the technical director of the club, reveals that it is already clear that Ibrahimovic will stay at the club. If a special thing happens.

- There is a clause that automatically renews it (contract) if we reach the Champions League, he says to Sky Sport Italia, which is quoted by a number of different media.

- If we do not do that, we will sit down with him. With "Ibra" there must always be an open dialogue. And it does, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.

Right now, however, Milan is far from a Champions League place. Only the first four teams in Serie A take an automatic CL place, and up there, seventh-placed Milan currently nine points.
