Why in the world did Zlatan Ibrahimovic sign with AC Milan? - Craig Burley | Serie A

I mean when you’ve been there done that and nearing retirement. Doesn’t it make sense to make a cut wage and go help a team you have a strong connection with? He clearly cares about the club and he might be 38 but he can attract investors. Sponsors. New players. He’s a bonus. Can’t believe ESPN are so ignorant

[@not2busy]

Yes, it's ego, but it's also PR. Craig, you said it yourself. You switched on the AC Milan game when Zlatan came on. Otherwise, you would probably never have given it a second thought. So he attracts attention. But his presence and intimidating personality may also provide some much needed push and encouragement for the current crop of players. He is what he is. If he feels like continuing to play a sport that he loves and if someone feels that they need a legend like him, why not? I have never watched AC Milan play, but I will now, just to see how he does.

[@GrandMasterTico]

[@_Forza]

No because I'm a die hard Milan fan. I simply don't watch them. Its atrocious football and even worse management. Zlatan is my 2nd favorite footballer ever behind Kaka. I was against Kaka's return and I'm still against Zlatan's return

[@not2busy]

@@_Forza I'm curious as to how much they will be paying him. If he just wanted to play and try to help by taking a low salary, then I don't see the problem. It sounds like Milan need to attract young talented players to the club. How else would they do that without something like the attraction that is Zlatan? I for one have never seen Milan play and will do do now, just because of him. That fact has to count for something.

Zlatan has literally answered this question a million times. It's the same reason he says Ronaldo's move to Juventus wasn't a "challenge" because they were already a top team.

He loves Milano as a city. He has always said it's his second home. This choice is more for the family and where it would fit to end his career. And also in Milan he can be the difference-maker. We all know he wants to be the star and have 100% focus. In Milan he gets it. And he also puts pressure on his teammates to perform. Something the players in Milan needs. The move is so obvious.
