AC Milan loaned out Daniel Maldini to Spezia for the complete season. The loan deal is straight without any clause in it. The player will return to the club at the end of the season.

Milan did execute the option, and the player signed for four seasons. He won the Scudetto (Italian Serie A title) in his first season with Milan. In the next season, he finished as Serie A top scorer before moving to PSG.

After having remarkable spells with PSG, Manchester United, and the LA Galaxy, Ibrahimovic returned to AC Milan in January 2020 on a six-month deal. He extended the contract for one more year once the 2019-20 season ended. His aim was to win Scudetto with Milan, who last won it in 2010-11, which was Ibrahimovic’s first season with the club.
