Follow the push and pull between Ibrahimovic and AC Milan. The two parties have been negotiating the renewal of the link for some time, but there is still no agreement a few weeks before the 2020-21 season begins. Thus, the Milanese team already has other alternatives and through the mouth of the sports director Paolo Maldini, they have a “Plan B” if finally the Swedish striker does not continue in the team.
“Ibrahimovic is our priority, but it is normal that there is a plan B, also C and D ”, said Paolo Maldini at the press conference this Tuesday.
In turn, the former Milan center-back affirmed that negotiations continue between both parties and that they expect a resolution soon. “We are all working hard to reach an agreement. We want to complete the file very quickly ”.
In the same direction pointed Ivan Gazidis, general manager of the Italian squad. “We are doing everything possible to continue,” adding that he is “optimistic” about the renewal of the veteran forward. They are also aware of the importance of Ibra in the team. “We can all see that Ibrahimovic has played an important role this season.”
On the other hand, Maldini said they were in negotiations to extend the goalkeeper's contract Gianluigi Donnarumma, and in talks with Chelsea for the incorporation of the defensive midfielder Tiémoué Bakayoko, who last season played on loan at Monaco.
