Reports: Atletico Madrid interested in signing out of contract Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Atletico Madrid are interested to sign out of contract Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to reports from Spanish outlet Sport.

The 35-year-old played a starring role for Manchester United last season, scoring 28 goals from 46 appearances to guide the club win the EFL Cup and the Europa League.

However, Ibrahimovic damaged his cruciate ligaments in the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Anderlecht and has been sidelined until January which saw Manchester United opt against offering him a contract extension for a further 12 months. Although, he will complete his rehabilitation at the club’s training complex after being offered full use of their facilities.
