According to Sempre Milan, Zlatan Ibrahmivoic dreamed of a David Beckham-like farewell from the AC Milan fans like the former England captain received during his time at PSG. With Zlatan's friend Zvonimir Boban sacked by the Serie A club and with Paolo Maldini soon to follow, Ibrahimovic has reflected upon his future and decided that he will not play for the AC Milan that he "no longer recognises".
