Zlatan Ibrahimovic, LA Galaxy Agree to Part Ways

Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports

The highest-paid player in the MLS will be leaving Los Angeles in 2020.

On Wednesday, the LA Galaxy announced they have agreed to part ways with Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic after two seasons. With the 2019 MLS campaign now concluded, it appears Ibrahimovic will be taking his goal scoring touch and one-of-a-kind charisma elsewhere.

It was a colorful two years on the American circuit for Ibrahimovic, who scored 52 goals and tallied 17 assists in 56 appearances in all competitions for the Galaxy. Despite his impressive international pedigree spanning tenures with Manchester United, Juventus and PSG among others, the five-time MLS Cup champion Galaxy only won a single playoff game and no trophies with The Lion spearheading their attack.
