A heel injury keeps him from playing in Saturday night's derby against Inter, but despite that it is Zlatan Ibrahimovic who gets the headlines.

According to Milan's sports director Paolo Maldini, Ibrahimovic is about to extend his contract with the club.

- Zlatan knows what he wants, he does not fake anything.

He knows what the possible agreement with Milan could look like.

If he does not feel like continuing, he will be the first to say so, Maldini told DAZN according to Football Italia.

This season, Zlatan has suffered some setbacks and minor injuries, but despite that he has delivered eight goals in his 19 appearances in the league and Champions League.

- His idea is to continue.

Zlatan will never be a burden for this team, just an asset, says Maldini.
