Ibrahimovic statue in Malmo set to be relocated after repeated acts of vandalism

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s statue in the Swedish city of Malmo is to be relocated following numerous acts of vandalism against it.

The AC Milan forward was immortalised with a bronze statue showing him celebrating shirtless near the Swedbank Stadium, home of his first club, Malmo.

However, it has been a constant target for vandals ever since Ibrahimovic confirmed his decision to become part-owner of rivals Hammarby.
