The World Cup winner that Zlatan Ibrahimovic requested for AC Milan

AC Milan has been great since Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined from Los Angeles Galaxy. They went from being a demotivated top half team to be at top of the league this season, and the Swede has been key for that scoring lots of goals for the Rossoneri, surprising the whole world for doing so at 39 years old.

But the striker thinks he needs a better partner upfront, so he requested a World Cup winner to take that place. He won that tournament with France in 2018, and he could move to Milan as a free agent, because his current contract will end at the end of the season and will not renew it.

He is Florian Thauvin, a talented winger who at 28 years old, scored six goals and made eight assists in 27 matches for Marseille. However, the Italian side will have a competitor because Sevilla, the last UEFA Europa League winner, will make an attempt to convince him to join them.

According to this report of Il Corriere dello Sport, the manager Stefano Pioli approved his signing. Thauvin, who plays as a right winger, would have to compete with Alexis Saelemaekers, who is the starter there at AC Milan. An experimented World Cup winner would improve the squad and give Zlatan Ibrahimovic the assists he needs.
