  • Could Zlatan return to La Liga where he previously starred for Barca?

    Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who enjoyed a trophy-laden single season at Manchester United before being released, is set to link-up with Atletico Madrid and complete his rehabilitation with Diego Simeone’s men before signing permanently in January, according to reports.

    Although he has already made rapid progress from the cruciate knee ligament injury he sustained for the Red Devils against Anderlecht in April, Zlatan is still set for several more months on the sidelines.

    However, as reported by daily Spanish newspaper AS, Atleti will offer the super Swede the chance to complete his rehab at the club before securing his services on a free transfer in January – when they will be free to sign players following their ban for irregularities in the transfers of foreign players under 18.

    With Zlatan looking for a new club and still keen to play at the highest level, it could be a short-term fix that suits all parties.
