Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s son Maximilian has signed his first professional contract at his father’s former club AC Milan.

Former Sweden international Ibrahimovic scored 511career club goals and won 34 trophies – including 12 league titles.

In a career that began in the last century, the 42-year-old was nominated for the Ballon d’Or 11 times.

The striker is also his country’s all-time top scorer with 62 international goals in 122 matches.

The one major club trophy that eluded him was the Champions League, with his only European title winning the Europa League Manchester United in 2017.
