Los Angeles Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly close to completing his return to AC Milan on a six-month loan deal.
Ibrahimovic has been heavily linked with a switch back to Europe when the January transfer window opens, with the Galaxy currently enjoying their post-season break.
The likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid have been credited with an interest in the 37-year-old, but AC Milan are understood to be his most likely destination if he does leave Los Angeles on a temporary basis.
Ibrahimovic has previously stated that he would be open to the idea of returning to San Siro, and Italian news outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the deal has now moved closer to completion.
The report also claims that there would be the option to make the move permanent in July should Milan choose.
Ibrahimovic scored 56 goals in 85 appearances for Milan during his first stint at the club from 2010 to 2012.
