Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to extend his stay at LA Galaxy for another season despite reports linking him with a return to AC Milian.

According to a UK Sun report citing LA Times’ Kevin Baxter, the 37-year-old Ibrahimovic will officially be handed a new LA Galaxy deal next week.

“Days after AC Milan sporting director Leonardo said talks with his club regarding a winter loan had come to an end," an MLS source confirmed Tuesday that Ibrahimovic has a new deal with the league.

“The Galaxy declined comment but an official announcement is expected next week.”

Interestingly, since arriving the MLS side on a free transfer last March, Ibrahimovic has netted 22 times in 27 appearances.

Ibrahimovic also participated as an All-Star and in MLS' Best XI: 2018.

Recently, reports claim Ibrahimovic was close to returning to the San Siro on loan, but it now seem the Rossoneri were unable to seal a deal.

Interestingly, while on loan from Barcelona in 2011, Ibrahimovic claimed the Serie A scudetto with San Siro dwellers before heading to Paris Saint-Germain.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously had reported AC Milan are reportedly on the verge of announcing the signing of former Manchester United star Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The latest development will be a bad news for Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho who is said to be considering bringing the Swede back to Old Trafford in January.

Zlatan is eyeing a return to Europe after failing to push American club LA Galaxy into the MLS Cup finals.

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
