He became the oldest goalscorer in the league’s history when he scored his only goal of the season by converting a penalty in a 3-1 loss at Udinese in March. That was the only match he started this season for the Serie A side. Ibrahimovic then picked up a calf injury in a pre-match warm-up in April and will leave AC Milan career sidelined due to the knock. His contract with Milan expires at the end of June and will not be renewed following a season plagued by injuries. Announcing his exit on Saturday, June 3, the club said; “Tomorrow (Sunday) evening after the final game of the season… AC Milan will say goodbye to Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a brief ceremony. AC Milan would like to thank Zlatan for the magnificent time that we have spent together.”

Milan sits fourth in Serie A ahead of Sunday night’s match at the San Siro and are assured of Champions League football next season. They lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League semifinal last month. Italian media report that Ibrahimovic could join Monza next season, which would reunite him with former Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi and his right-hand man Adriano Galliani. Former Italian prime minister Berlusconi who sold Milan for 740 million euros in 2017 after three decades of glory, bought Monza for a relative pittance the following year. 
Swedish football legend and AC Milan star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic made history on Saturday, March 18, as he became the oldest goalscorer in Serie A history. 
During the match between AC Milan and Udinese, Ibrahimovic converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time to pull his side level after they fell behind early in the game. Though the match ended 3-1 in favour of Udinese, the Sweden international overtook Alessandro Costacurta, who held the record from his days at Milan. 
Costacurta was 41 years and 25 days old when he topped the list in 2007. Ibrahimovic who is 41 years and 166 days old, has now taken the top spot. The goal against Udinese is Ibrahimovic’s first in Serie A this season. The striker had made just three appearances for the Rossoneri before Saturday’s clash, having been absent with a knee injury for most of the campaign.
