Ibrahimovic is taking a 95 percent pay cut to join LA Galaxy MLS From 21.8m to 1.2m euros

Los Angeles Galaxy have confirmed their latest marquee signing is to be Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after his time at Manchester United came to an end.

The move will see his wages go from a mammoth 21.8 million euros a year to 1.2m euros a year, a 95 percent pay cut.

Sports Illustrated have revealed the figures, which are much lower due to MLS wage restrictions.

With all four franchise player spots having been filled, the club cannot exceed a 3.2m euros wage limit, meaning they can only afford to spend 1.2m euros on the Swede.

"After being in Europe, winning 33 trophies, playing in the best teams in the world, playing with the best players in the world, I wanted to come to the US and play my game there," the 36-year-old said after completing the move.

"I wanted people to enjoy my game there and to win.

"And I chose the Galaxy to do that."
