According to media reports in Italy, AC Milan agreed Thursday to sign the former Swedish international to a six-month contract on a free transfer, six weeks after Ibrahimovic and the Galaxy decided on mutual separation. Ibrahimovic, 38, played two seasons for Milan, helping the team to a Serie A title in 2010-11 and leading the league in goals the next season. Milan was the preferred destination of Ibrahimovic and his Italian agent, Mino Raiola, from even before the player tweeted out his decision to leave the Galaxy last month. Milan responded with a six-month contract worth about $2.2 million dollars, or $5 million less than he made with the Galaxy in 2019. Milan went into the Italian leagues holiday break 11th in the 20-team table, much closer to relegation than it is to first-place Inter Milan, its cross-town rival.
