Sky journalist believes Ibrahimovic will have ‘weight’ in Milan’s summer transfer plans

When rumours first emerged about Zlatan Ibrahimovic rejoining AC Milan, there were questions about what his role at the club would be, and a journalist has shed some more light on the part he may play in the Rossoneri’s transfers. 

After taking a duo role with Milan and RedBird, questions continued about whether the Swede would be influential in mercato, squad and managerial-related areas. Reports have suggested that Ibra is very intertwined with the hunt for a new manager, and so it would be imaged he will also be consulted regarding the club’s movements in the mercato.

The past two summers, albeit minus a few positives, will not be seen as successes, and there is a need for the upcoming summer transfer window to be near perfect if the Diavolo want to pose a threat in the 2024-25 Scudetto race.

Furthermore, with investment in a striker likely, few names are better to analyse their options than Zlatan.

Sky journalist Peppe Di Stefano spoke about the role Ibrahimovic will play in the transfer market – his words have been relayed by RadioRossonera.

“Ahead of the summer there is big news in my opinion: Ibrahimovic will have weight in the Rossoneri’s transfer plans, and it is not trivial. Milan’s transfer ‘coup’ is that now Ibrahimovic will have a say. And it doesn’t mean that he will choose the players, but he will certainly have his say. He will be in [Gerry] Cardinale’s ear. There will be an even more complete working group. I see Ibrahimovic, [Geoffrey] Moncada and [Antonio] D’Ottavio as quite cohesive.”
