A surprise international comeback for Zlatan Ibrahimovic moved a step closer on Thursday as the country’s FA confirmed that boss Janne Andersson had met with the striker in Milan to discuss a possible return.
After scoring 62 goals in 116 games, Zlatan Ibrahimovic quit the national side following their exit from Euro 2016
The talismanic 39-year-old, who was crowned his nation’s best player for the 12th time this week, said in a recent interview that he missed the national team and would be open to a return, which prompted Andersson to fly to Milan to meet him.
“When Zlatan opened up for playing in the national team, it felt natural and important to meet and discuss this as soon as possible. I am glad that we managed to get a meeting so quickly,” Andersson told the Swedish FA’s website.
