AC Milan drew 0-0 against Juventus and the Rossoneri were not able to keep up with their bitter rivals Nerazzurri. The club, despite absences, tried to attack and win against the Bianconeri, but the finishing never came. Ibrahimovic's injury early on during the game also did not help.
It is thus another stop for the 40-year-old Swede veteran this season. The Swedish forward was replaced by French striker Olivier Giroud in the first half after suffering an Achilles tendon problem.
It is clear that the former Ajax and PSG star cannot be relied on all the time. Olivier Giroud also cannot be always available due to his history with injuries so far at Milanello and his age. Marko Lazetic is set to be the newest striker to be added to Stefano Pioli's team. But, that may not be enough to reinforce the attack.
According to the Italian website Calciomercatoweb.it, among the names associated with the Rossoneri club there is also that of Alexander Isak, a great Swedish talent of Real Sociedad in La Liga. Ibrahimovic's compatriot is also liked by Juventus. He is on the radar of many important European clubs. He is valued somewhere around 35 to 40 million euros. AC Milan's directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara could attempt to make a deal by presenting Samu Castillejo's card on the table plus cash from 25 to 30 million euros.
