Evergreen Ibrahimovic signs one-year contract with Milan
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will continue playing for Milan past the age of 41 after signing a one-year deal with the Rossoneri.
The Swedish international returned to San Siro in December 2019 after leaving LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer.
Ibrahimovic vowed he would end Milan's long wait for the Scudetto and then delivered in the 2021-22 season as the Rossoneri won their first Serie A title in 11 years.
Injuries limited the striker to just 12 appearances in all competitions last season, but only Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud (both 14) scored more goals than the 40-year-old's eight.
Ibrahimovic is set to be out until January following surgery on his left knee, but Milan have rewarded the striker with a new contract to keep him at the club until June 2023.
Former Liverpool striker Divock Origi arrived earlier in the transfer window to bolster Pioli's attacking options as Milan aim to defend their Serie A title in the next campaign, which the Rossoneri will start at home against Udinese on August 13.
The Belgian has scored 22 goals in 107 Premier League appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side, despite starting just 34 of those appearances, and will provide further competition for striking options alongside Giroud, Leao and Ibrahimovic.
