After Zlatan Ibrahimovic signed a new one-year contract on Monday with AC Milan, the Swede striker will stay for at least one year with the Italian champions.
In a statement, the team announced "the renewal of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's contract until June 30, 2023. The Swedish forward will continue to wear the number 11 shirt."
Ibrahimovic turns 41 in October and the deal he signed will net him around one million euros ($1.02 million) in fixed salary, with big bonuses linked to achievements and appearances.
The Swede has been out of action after having had the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee reconstructed in May. He will be back in action early next year.

The former Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United forward said in May he endured six months of sleepless nights due to his knee pain because he was determined to keep his promise to AC Milan of delivering their first Serie A crown in 11 years.
Ibrahimovic had missed Euro 2020 after surgery on his left knee before an Achilles tendon problem which cost him his starting position up front for Milan.
He returned to Milan in 2020 eight years after leaving, and his arrival kick-started the rise of Stefano Pioli's team to the top of the Italian game.
