“Ibrahimovic will retire at 35”

47

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC will play for 5 more years, his agent claims, after Ibra hinted at something else.

The Milan striker said that football is starting to tire him and he doesn’t have the same determination that he used to have in the past and there were speculations that retirement is close for the Swede giant.

Mino Raiola, who represents Robinho, Mario Balotelli and also Zlatan Ibrahimovic, has made it clear however that Ibrahimovic, who turned 30 this month, has five years of playing before hanging up his boots.

“Milan can stay calm,” agent Raiola said as reported today by the Milan-based sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport. “He’s upset with the loss against Juventus, but he’ll return to being the real Ibrahimovic in a couple of days. I spoke to him yesterday and he isn’t as down as some of his words would suggest.

“It’s clear that he doesn’t have the same motivation as he had three years ago, but he’ll play on until he’s 35. He hasn’t lost the desire to put himself under discussion. He’s an honest guy with himself and others. I don’t know if he’ll stay at Milan for another 5 years, as that depends on the club. You need two parties to be in agreement, but if the club make an offer…” Zlatan previously played for Malmo, Ajax, Juve, Inter & Barca.

Ibrahimovic has a contract with Milan until 2014. He said before that the Rossoneri would be his last club.

@allegri4young

And again i tell you Ibra is not champions league quality.

verdi120

Idowu

@Shaddy, Mr X. is me. Lol

Salih

Ibra just needs to win some games alongside with the first 11 squad, and he will get the playing desire back again
:-)

Aliyu

@idowu. I jst wanted 2 see wat u’ll say, dats y i was using d @. Well my apologies.

Gambit

Andriy Shevchenko > Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pato is not doing well, but I prefer him over Balotelli.

Idowu

Now i seee Aliyu you are playing pranks huh??!!

Mr Goph

Hope he stays but not for five more years. 2 or 3 at most. Unless he will be ready to accept a sub role and i don’t see that happening with ibra.

Mr Goph

Vice ibra: Thomas Muller, Nicolas Bendtner, Mario Gomez, Fernando Llorente, Salomon Rondon, Radamel Falcao.

All i just wish him is to add UCL trophy to his record b4 retirment!
I wish him best of luck!!!!
Forza Zlatan!
Forzamilan

verdi120

pato is no master. Master do not do away with /geat/ not good chances. I like pato alot but is time he grows thik skin and do away with some childish waste of chances
4za pato…! 4za milan…

Giancarlo

Balotelli is definitely preferable over Pato… in my opinion. He’s vastly more skilled, not as injury prone, and a better shot in front of goal. I would say we should consider offers for Pato… possibly an exchange with City for Balotelli.

Anyways, I think it’s best we get back to our winning mentality. And I believe we will soon enough.

Andriy Shevchenko

@Mr Goph vice Ibra:Mario Balotelli,Damiao,Diego Mauricio.

Idowu

@Mr Goph, never bendtner! He’s slow… Even crouch is better than him… In my opinion.

Aliyu

@idowu. Jst joking though.
@giancarlo. U re absolutely wrong here. Balotelli is more skillful dan pato nd has a beta shot i agree wit u here. But pato is a clinical finisher dan balo. D probability of pato scoring a 1 on 1 is vry high. While dat of balo is low. Example d goal agains barca wil b difficult 4 balo. Pls b frank

Sohel loves Shama

Y dont we get Balo with exchange of Ibra…not Pato…
I want both Balo n Pato play in front of El Shaarawy

Gambit

Balotelli-Ibra-Pato, behind them should be our working beast: Robinho :D

rossoneri4evah

Listen what milan need to do is sell ibra or trade him for Higuain if possible and sell either cassano or robinho and buy eden hazard before its too late he is that player wee need in midfield with speed and technique a trio with higuain pato upfront and hazard behind them would destroy everyone

Mr Goph

Why sell Robinho 4 Hazard? The guy is doing great.

Mr Goph

@A. Shevchenko Mario Balotelli would be great. But as 4 Demiao we will see cause Ronaldinho was a bench man at Milan and now a superstar in the Brazilian league and i have never watch Mauricio play, so no comment on him.

Mr Goph

@ Idowu Crouch over Bendtner seriously? The guy is over 30.

flowchild

@verdi,gignac u must b kiddin me dat guy is ova 30 & way below average

Naija

Shut up all of you supportive blood sucking fans ACMILAN is declining. Just watch and shut up we need change something else we down to the grave. Peace

Naija

Naija no de carry last. From 2face to Wizkid. WARRI DEY VERSE O!!!

ALLEGRI4YOUNG

Ibra must be open for transfer cos we secretly know he’s finished but there are so many clubs out there believing he is a goodluck but i know that luck is only for a year so we can trade him for good money.

flowchild

shup up!@ naija u’r a disgrace 2 nigerians includin me. ODEEEEEEEE!!!

Giancarlo

Pato a clinical finisher is something I will not call him. Sometimes Pato can be as clinical as Ronaldo (Brazilian one), but some days he’ll miss many sitters.

And Robinho should stay put. After this international brea, you’ll see why. He’ll save Milan’s attack by teaming up with Ibra. Eat your words.

Sheva7

What you’re trying to say is that his finishing is inconsistent but come on man nobody’s finishing is that consistent.He is our best Clinical Finisher IMO(bar maybe the legendary SuperPippo which is out of this world).

Giancarlo

Not really. I’ve seen Pato miss numerous sitters… it’s not even funny. Lets just admit to reality. Some days Pato’s finishing is terrible.

Sheva7

Like is said nobody’s Finishing is that Consistent.But i believe he’s our best finisher.Though the Problem with Pato is he doesnt offer anything else like Zlatand and Co do.

Giancarlo

I actually think Ibrahimovic is our best finisher… we need him back on form. We need to see some more glorious goals like we did last season… the one against Lecce is an example.

Sheva7

I dont really think so Ibra is our Best Player from the Strikers but not the Best Finisher he also missed some terrible sitters.IMO our best Finisher overall is still Pippo with Pato coming second.

Giancarlo

Then you think wrong. Ibra was responsible for scoring or as-sisting at least 35 of our goals last season. He is definitely our best finisher. Pippo hardly even plays, so you can’t say that. Stop living in the past, sheva7, aka da*mn.

Mr Goph

@ flowchild bless u brother. The guy is just an ODE.

flowchild

yeah gian he realy nids 2 step up,pato is a world class material bt not yet a world class playa.CONSTISTENCY+ WORK RATE+INJURY FREE=WORLD CLASS!!!

Giancarlo

I just get frustrated when he gets injured and is out for another several weeks… how can he gain any consistency if that happens all the time? That’s why I’m leaning more towards Balotelli.
