Is Zlatan Ibrahimovic the answer to Milan's struggles? | Serie A

ESPN FC's Ale Moreno, Steve Nicol, Stewart Robson and Dan Thomas discuss Zlatan Ibrahimovic reportedly set to join AC Milan and whether the star striker can provide a solution to the squad's struggles. Robson believes Ibrahimovic will elevate Milan's attack while Nicol still has concerns about his ability to play for 90 minutes in Serie A. Moreno feels the move is not what Ibrahimovic needs in his career right now and Thomas points to reports of Ibrahimovic's wage demands being outside Milan's comfort zone.

Only person who’s making sense in ESPN crew is Gab Marcotti

[@superbroly98]

Ted Gal eh I agree but Stuart Robson is pretty good too

[@BoxOfOranges84]

For AC Milan, think it's a perfect fit when considering the reality of their respective circumstances 1. At worst for Milan, Zlatan will be a commercial distraction from their dysfunction, and at best he helps the team get back into the UEL 2. For Zlatan, he gets the benefits of joining a "big club" without any burden of expectations. If they achieve any form of success he'll take the credit

[@patricksantino4131]

Piatek is unmotivated right now and he need competition to return his form

[@DanielBowens]

It fair to say this dude can go just about whoever he wants, either way it’s crazy this mans career is still going. I’ve been watching him since I was in school. And I’m 30 now 😂

[@M97-u8t]

One of the most overrated players ever, very good at his best but never great

[@kasrakh86]

I say why not. he still looks in great shape and had a good season at la galaxy. He might just give ac Milan that boost of confidence and creativity on the field, but we will have to wait and see

[@joannereed3176]

What does it say about the EPL

[@mattiacolombo5362]

Someone's stopped watching AC Milan a month ago...

[@waleedgaming4910]

These guys haven't watched Milan play this season, we have the players to serve Ibra and get the goals.

[@ShaqsBlurryVisionNetwork]

Don’t worry about Zlatan’s age, Stevie. He’s unworldly and is still a top striker in the world.

[@M97-u8t]

Don´t be ridiculous

[@nomoregames1]

The Great, Zlatan....!!!

[@cobraNP]

ffs these people talking like Ibra had better players around him in LA than he would have in Milan. Milan has good players but they just need that leader to bring them up a level mentally.

[@jesusluna7796]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DanielBowens]

So does that mean serie A is a retirement league too?

[@mystikkrap]

These folks are needlessly negative. What's the problem here? You lot yourself said Zlatan wants game time so it should be a greater guarantee here than at a club at the top. If both him and the club are looking forward to it then why can't it change? And btw Milan are kind of coming back up if they improve further and he's happy with his role I see no problem.

[@tobiasroslund1519]

Correct

[@joweezyisaacs9608]

Zlatan will prove again 😏

[@Adrian-pr3xe]

Who would have thought that he would be the main reason for AC Milan's return to the top of Serie A and the UEFA Champions League in a single full single season? His presence has a massive impact, what a player!

[@saqibu5]

Zlatan is Zlatan... He is way beyond any of the idiots who are trying to put a stop. At least you can expect him as a finisher and score 10 goals this season which Milan needs badly... maybe few pieces at the back and midfield could be replaced with young athletes who can push this team back to top 4 contenders. You never know. Still there is 20 matches to play and a lot of points on the table.

[@drayden5644]

Imagine zlatan at Roma🤔

[@superbroly98]

Last year a 36 year old finished top goal scorer in serie a Stevie? If zlatan does well the league is still top 3 in the world

[@erikalmadrid4779]

Zlatan vs Ronaldo 👀

[@tobiasroslund1519]

Moreno and Nicol... come on... zlatan is FIT as 25 year old.. he will start many games and play 90.

[@madhurikumar5178]

Zlatan on his age be like: Lions don’t compare themselves to human

[@JorgeAbruh]

This ale guy is a clown honestly... mid table team at best? were mid table at worst and right now were at worst lol i'll admit were are underperforming. We need someone with a winning mentality, so it makes perfect sense.

[@Yscm695]

Its not just a 39 year old its zlatan stevie

[@manny3332]

Imagine he goes inter or juve 🔥🔥

[@tanisegsge4586]

he's 39 from MLS i know ur a fan boy but at 39 he is a trash player and best fit for MLS just a trash mouth trying to prove that he is the best and when it doesn't happen he will take a silent exit

[@manny3332]

tanise gsge he ain’t trash, he can be a great confidence booster and impact sub

[@MrGoalissimo]

AC Milan need a on pitch leader especially up front the likes of suso hakan piatek have been useless, i would hope they are all sold whatever quality they may have especially suso has shown himself to be utterly unreliable and lazy. It is not the team is without any leadership romagnoli and bonnaventura are leaders just needs someone else who has had experience to come in and educate these kids.

[@arghyabanerjee2427]

So I came across this video and look how wrong Zlatan proved them. Drop a 👍 if you're reading this

[@nomoregames1]

[@swadbodhy9242]

If a 38 years old is your answer... then you're not struggling you're done!!!

[@kalashnikov5544]

38 year old legend who will give the team the fire they need.

[@Subihabsfan]

Yes definitely.

[@shoryasethi5]

Which team is worse Ac milan , Arsenal or Man utd

[@monjilaferoza2042]

Can we get analyst that actually watched Milan play in the last month and not just make generic comments from just their league position. Squad is decent for Serie A and should be making top 4. Defence and midfield controlled the game for large parts of the games against Juve/Napoli. Finishing is a problem and Ibra will help, this is a perfect choice for both.

[@kalashnikov5544]

They won't get top 4 lol, but they can get top 6 and play in the Europa League.

[@monjilaferoza2042]

Kalash Nikov “Should be making top 4” With that squad doesn’t mean they will. They should have stuck with Gattuso

[@GentleGazer162]

Watch he's gonna show that he is better than Ronaldo

[@animerecaps4678]

The twist is that he will be joining Juventus

[@cammo7540]

Don't doubt a man that believes in himself.

[@henryc2322]

I want him to go to Juventus with CR7

[@Electrifying316HBK]

Yea.. Him coming back to the club that made him would be incredible. Unfortunately, he's not even close to the type of player Sarri would like. Also, there's so much attackers in Juve right now he couldn't get much playing time. Not even counting Mandzukic, who is one foot out the door, Juve's got Ronaldo, Dybala, Higuain, Costa and Bernardeschi. Now, to be fair, you can move Dybala back to CAM and make space for Zlatan that way but either way Zlatan and Ronaldo up front can't work under Sarri. Under Allegri or Conte those 2 would be unstoppable.

[@DanielBowens]

Lol I could see them dropping Ronaldo then signing Zlatan

[@Electrifying316HBK]

@@DanielBowens Ok... There's a higher chance they sign me and you as directors than them dropping Ronaldo for Zlatan.

[@nomoregames1]

Milan + Zlatan = UEFA CUP........!!!!!!!!

[@abdelhakkhalil7684]

Mark my words, Ronaldo would too play until he hit 40 just so he makes sure Messi never catches up to him in terms of goals and trophies :D

[@SportinGino]

Who cares about the MLS. Just because a player goes to MLS and comes back to Europe, what, not good enough anymore. Guarantee Zlatan would outrun half of the players in série a

[@MrFelixify]

@luis _ in no way shape or form has he "bought" a team. He was payed as a way of bonus salary from the owners of LA Galaxy, that also owned half of Hammarby, 25% of it's shares. People can't own entire clubs in Sweden because of at least 49% of the club have to be owned by the city/people's

No
