Zlatan Ibrahimovic agrees to return to the Galaxy for 2019 season

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s long talks with AC Milan this fall never came close to getting the Italian team a new player. But it has gotten Ibrahimovic a new contract, one that will make him a designated player, paving the way for a substantial raise.

Days after AC Milan sporting director Leonardo said talks with his club regarding a winter loan had come to an end, an MLS source confirmed Tuesday that Ibrahimovic has a new deal with the league. The Galaxy declined comment but an official announcement is expected next week.

December is turning out to be a busy month for the Galaxy.
