“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.

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.
