Zlatan Ibrahimovic has announced his retirement from football.
He said: “I’ve got a lot of memories and emotions inside. The first time I came here you gave me so much happiness. I’ll be a Milan fan all my life. The time has come to say ciao to calcio. But not to you. We’ll see each other around. You’re lucky. Forza Milan and arrivederci (see you soon).”
