The Zlatan Ibrahimovic AC Milan comments sent a few of the Rossoneri enthusiasts into meltdown as the Swede explained the club's fall from grace. Ibrahimovic reportedly slammed Gazidis for making an appearance just 48 hours before Milan's Coppa Italia live clash against Juventus. Ibrahimovic also claimed that 'Milan aren't what the used to be at one point in time'.
Gazidis is believed to have agreed with the striker's comments but there are reports claiming that Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be offloaded by AC Milan in the summer. Ibrahimovic is on high wages at Milan and has pocketed a reported £3.5million (€3.9 million) over the last six months since returning to the San Siro earlier in January. In order to cut costs, AC Milan might look to offload the striker in the summer instead of agreeing on a contract extension.
