MONTREAL -- Philadelphia Union coach Jim Curtin said that placing a "discovery" claim on Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- who has been in discussions with MLS about a move to the LA Galaxy - is "strategic."
Ibrahimovic's contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires this summer. And the 34-year-old Swede has no shortage of options, with Manchester United, AC Milan and clubs in China also reportedly interested in the prolific striker.
Philadelphia, however, probably isn't a realistic destination even if Ibrahimovic wanted to go to move there as Union ownership is not prepared to pony up the eight-figure salary the striker could command, multiple sources told ESPN FC.
