Zlatan Ibrahimovic 'closing in on return to AC Milan'

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly on the verge of re-joining Italian giants AC Milan.

The 38-year-old will see his current deal with Los Angeles Galaxy expire at the end of 2019, and the experienced centre-forward has been linked with a number of clubs.

Manchester United are believed to have made contact with the Swede to discuss a potential reunion, while Bologna were also thought to be firmly in the hunt.

Napoli and Perth Glory are just two of a number of other clubs said to be interested, but according to Marca, Ibrahimovic is heading for a return to Milan.

The former Sweden international turned out for Milan between 2010 and 2012, scoring 56 times in 85 appearances for the San Siro giants before moving to Paris Saint-Germain.

Ibrahimovic has notched 53 goals in just 58 outings during his time in the MLS, including 31 in 31 appearances during the recent season.
