Zlatan Ibrahimovic admits new AC Milan deal is unlikely as promoted Leeds target veteran superstar
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has fuelled speculation he could join Leeds United by admitting he looks unlikely to stay at AC MIlan.
Multi-millionaire Andrea Radrizzani, who owns the Championship top dogs, has revealed he had transfer talks with the 38-year-old earlier this year.
The Swede, who spent 18 months with the Elland Road side’s bitter rivals Manchester United from 2016, instead opted to head back to the San Siro.
His deal expires at the end of the month, and after Leeds sealed a Premier League return, supporters are dreaming of them making another move for the striker.
And speaking to , Ibrahimovic says he is not anticipating a new contract offer from Milan.
He said: “I still have three games, still 10 days, nobody said anything to me and I don’t expect anything else.
“There are things that we cannot control, but that seems strange to me, but we are doing great things.
“We play with great confidence and we believe in what we do.
“I’m working, I’m fine, the team is fine and doing good things.
“When I arrived we are second or third in the standings, it means it is not bad.”
The highly-experienced frontman has scored five times 14 appearances at Milan since his January arrival.
Despite five goals in 14 Serie A appearances, Ibrahimovic is yet to be offered an extension on the six-month deal he signed.
While making his revelation, Radrizzani also questioned whether Ibra could handle the physical toll of English football now at his age.
But he did manage 17 in 33 Premier League appearances during his time at Old Trafford.
