Zlatan Ibrahimovic ‘considering becoming an agent alongside Mino Raiola’ with striker likely to leave AC Milan

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC is reportedly considering his AC Milan future - and may even retire to become an AGENT alongside Mino Raiola.

During the coronavirus pandemic shutdown across European football, the striker has returned to Sweden where he is mapping out his next moves in the game.

A fairytale return to the San Siro at the turn of the year has been productive, with Ibrahimovic scoring four goals in ten games, but his desire to carry on is said to be in doubt.

report that the 38-year-old joined Milan after being persuaded by club legends Paolo Maldini and Zvonimir Boban, as well as coach Stefano Pioli.

Chief football officer Boban was sacked earlier this month and technical director Maldini may soon follow him out the exit door.

Therefore there is speculation that Ibrahimovic could retire from the game and take up a new role as an agent.

Raiola is a long-term partner of the Swede and has brokered deals for him since his days at Ajax in the early 2000s.

In addition, the suggestion that Serie A may not start again for a number of months may also hasten a decision to hang up his boots.

When choosing Milan after finishing with LA Galaxy at the end of 2019, Ibrahimovic had aa number of offers - including from Leeds.

The Championship club's owner Andrea Radrizzani has claimed he was in talks to bring the forward to Elland Road, as well as Edinson Cavani.

He told Sky Sports Italia: "I spoke with Zlatan Ibrahimovic more concretely.

"He could have given us that decisive push but he decided to go to AC Milan. He has been very honest and transparent with me.

"We need to be rational and coherent with the strategy of both coach and team.

"I did not even speak with Marcelo Bielsa about Cavani and Ibrahimovic because we never got to the stage that we could sit down and talk about them."
