AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has reportedly set his sights on hanging his boots this summer after an illustrious career.

Zlatan has enjoyed a glittering football journey spanning more than 20 years, with the Swedish star having the rare chance of turning out for several top clubs across Europe.

In 2018, the 41-year-old was projected to be laying the ground for his retirement after he moved to the MLS with LA Galaxy when he quit Man United.

However, the veteran striker went on to make a sensational return to Europe, sealing a move to AC Milan in 2020.

The current campaign has been perhaps the most difficult in his career, having missed the first half of the season through injury.

The former Man United attacker underwent surgery on a serious knee injury last summer, leaving him sidelined for the better part of the season.

While he is projected to return to action in mid-February, reports indicate there is every chance he could call time on his career.
