As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, it seems that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is enjoying his time with this partner Helena, his children Maximilian and Vincent, and his free time. But soon, he will make a decision about Milan's call, and there are good chances that a new partnership will be celebrated between the parties.
AC Milan is ready to open the doors of Milanello and the locker room to Ibrahimovic. Since mid-September, contacts between the club on Via Aldo Rossi and Zlatan have become more frequent. The native of Malmö has met Gerry Cardinale, spoken with President Paolo Scaroni, and CEO Giorgio Furlani. The rapport with all the top figures of the club clicked right away. Milan knows that the contribution of a figure like his would be more than valuable.
The newspaper explained that Milan is likely to tailor a role specifically for the Swedish player. Ibra could return as a club manager or as a collaborator with coach Stefano Pioli. Zlatan, in fact, wants to work closely with the players, motivating the group and helping individuals, living in Milanello every day.
AC Milan is ready to accommodate him because their visions align. And for Pioli, who was once Ibra's coach, he could now represent an ally and a friend. Could Zlatan have an impact in the transfer market? The current formula, with Furlani at the helm and Geoffrey Moncada and Antonio D'Ottavio under his command, works and will not change.
Ibrahimovic, logically, would be ready to contribute, but always in full respect of roles. Also because dealing with purchases, sales, and renewals would not be part of his aspirations. Ibrahimovic is also ready to take on the role of Milan's figurehead, both in Italy and around the world, an ambassador of the Rossoneri brand.
Ibrahimovic does not want a symbolic role, he wants to have an effect
This commitment must not be merely symbolic, however. The former AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain star wants to have an effective role.
It will also be important to find the right balance between his new role at Milan and his entrepreneurial activities: Ibra wants to be free to pursue his own business ventures even after returning to the Rossoneri. If they manage to find common ground on all these aspects, the new partnership could be launched between the parties.
