Zlatan Ibrahimovic closes in on AC Milan return Serie A Most likely destination is Italy

Zlatan Ibrahimovic sparked all kinds of rumours earlier in the week, after suggesting that he might return to Spanish football in a social media post.

But, in reality, the most likely scenario is that the Swedish striker will return to former club AC Milan, with the Rossoneri keen to get the striker on their books once again.

What does seem clear is that Ibrahimovic will put an end to his stay in the United States.

The Swedish forward wants to leave MLS to have a last hurrah in a top European league, and could return to the division he knows best, Serie A.

There, he turned out for giants Juventus, Inter and AC Milan for a combined total of 294 games, notching 148 goals and 61 assists in the process.

A return to the Rossoneri could prove to be mutually beneficial and the struggling side will be hoping that the forward can return to the form he displayed in his previous stint with the club, where he averaged a goal every 128 minutes.
