Zlatan Ibrahimovic could make a sensational return to AC Milan when his contract at Paris Saint-Germain comes to an end, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
Sweden international Ibrahimovic has not yet agreed a contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions and has been linked with a string of Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Arsenal and West Ham.
There has also been reported interest from Qatar and MLS, with Ibrahimovic set to make a decision on his future at the end of the season.
But Raiola claims Ibrahimovic might be interested in re-joining the Rossoneri, with whom he won one Serie A title during a two-year spell before leaving for the French capital in July 2012.
In an extract from an interview in Italian GQ magazine, Raiola said: "Ibrahimovic could return to Italy, to Milan."
Raiola is also the representative of controversial Milan striker Mario Balotelli, who has struggled for form since re-joining the club on a season-long loan from Liverpool, scoring just once in 19 Serie A outings.
After showing much promise as a youngster, the now 25-year-old striker saw his career stall after an unhappy spell at Anfield, while off-field misdemeanours have often overshadowed his performances on the pitch.
But Raiola believes Balotelli would have been a contender for the coveted Ballon d'Or award if he had a footballing brain like Ibrahimovic's.
"Balotelli? If he had Ibra's head, [Barcelona star Lionel] Messi would have fewer Ballon d'Or awards."
