Maldini: Ibrahimovic is a "Milan priority" this season

"The former Swedish international giant, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is considered a" priority for us ", the technical director of Milan's Italian football club, and his former international defender Paolo Maldini, confirmed today, without ruling out his departure before the start of the season scheduled for September 19. Maldini said in a press conference. Ibrahimovic is our priority, but naturally there is a second plan, but also a third and fourth. "

"We are all working hard to reach an agreement. We know that there will be a short preparation period for the new season, and therefore we want to finish this file very quickly," Maldini added. Ibra, who will turn 39 in October, joined Milan at the end of last December with a six-month contract after leaving the Los Angeles Galaxy of the United States for an annual salary of 3.5 million euros with the possibility of an extension for an additional year.

Since his return to the Lombard club, the former Paris Saint-Germain striker has had a positive impact on the struggling team, as he scored 11 goals in 20 matches in the domestic league and cup competitions.
