According to Sportbible, the 41-year-old has enjoyed a successful two-year stint at San Siro that saw him win the Serie A crown with the side last season.

However, the former Manchester United and Barcelona striker has endured a frustrating campaign with Milan this season, with injuries taking a toll on him.

Ibrahimovic linked with AC Milan exit

Reports in Italy now claim AC Milan are looking to part company with the veteran striker at the end of this season.

Foot Mercato claims the club are not looking to offer him a new contract once the current one expires this summer.

Despite his advanced age, Ibrahimovic looks set to continue playing at the top level, with Italian top-flight side Monza said to be keen on his services.

Monza are currently placed 13th in the Serie A standings and are keen to reinforce their squad at the end of the campaign.

Zlatan reignites row with Lukaku

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Zlatan Ibrahimovic has seemingly revisited his differences with Romelu Lukaku months after the duo faced off during the Milan derby in Italy.

The pair reunited for the first time since the January 26, 2021, incident where both were booked for their roles in the scuffle before Ibrahimovic was sent off for a second yellow card.

Ibrahimovic's home ground in Stockholm was the venue for their reunion as Sweden hosted Belgium in the Euro 2024 qualifiers on 24th March at the Friends Arena.

Lukaku was the star of the show as his hattrick took his side to a 3-0 win in Domenico Tedesco's first match as the Red Devils boss. Ibrahimovic made a late cameo from the bench but was unable to inspire his side to a comeback.
