Following the completion of his free transfer from the LA Galaxy to AC Milan after the expiration of his MLS contract, Zlatan Ibrahimović was officially unveiled as a Rossoneri player on Thursday. The 38-year-old completed his medical, fitness tests and a voluntary individual training session before being presented in front of the media with his new squad number of 21.
Bayern Munich enters the German winter break on the backend of a chaotic start to the season, one which cost manager Niko Kovač his job at the beginning of November. However, despite starting the month of December sitting seventh in the Bundesliga, Bayern has now won three straight by an aggregate scoreline of 11-2 to climb back to third in the table, just four points behind leaders RB Leipzig.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is just saying what we’re all thinking, and, often, talking, writing and complaining about. Soccer in America is broken because of one key aspect: pay to play.
Ibrahimovic has left the United States, trading Beverly Hills for Milan after one-and-a-half years with the LA Galaxy. But his time in America left a mark on the Swedish striker.
According to The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, Zlatan Ibrahimović has agreed to join AC Milan, putting an end to a month of speculation surrounding the 38-year-old striker following the expiration of his contract with the LA Galaxy.
It's no secret that David Beckham has been going after Edinson Cavani's signature for Major League Soccer expansion side Inter Miami CF, but it's now being reported that the LA Galaxy are trying to make a last-minute move for the Uruguayan striker.
I’ll be honest. I follow MLS pretty closely, and months will go by where I forget the Montreal Impact even exist as a club. That will change with the appointment of Thierry Henry as the club’s new head coach.
Zlatan Ibrahimović has announced his departure from the LA Galaxy following the expiration of his contract in MLS. Ibrahimović took to Twitter to inform America that he came, he saw, he conquered — and then he instructed us all to go back to watching baseball.
It’s happening with increasing swiftness: Spain’s golden generation is tiki-takaing out of existence. The latest to announce his retirement from the game is 37-year-old striker David Villa, who’ll call it quits in either December or January (depending on if Vissel Kobe can reach the final of the Emperor’s Cup).
Villa was a monster for Valencia, Barcelona, Sporting Gijón, Zaragoza and New York City FC, as well as the Spanish national team — although injury conspired against him for some of his generation’s finest moments.
