The teenage forward will join Milan's reserve team, Milan Futuro, competing in Serie C for the 2024-25 season. This move marks a significant step in Maximilian's budding football career, as he continues to follow in the illustrious footsteps of his father.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Maximilian, 17, showcased his potential while playing for Milan's under-18 squad last season. Born in Sweden, he has had a diverse training background, having been part of the youth academies at both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United due to his father's stints at those clubs. The Ibrahimovic legacy at Milan is further cemented by the involvement of Zlatan's younger son, Vincent, who is also part of the club's youth setup.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ibrahimovic, Sweden's all-time leading scorer with 62 goals in 121 appearances, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/zlatan-ibrahimovic-announces-retirement-41-emotional-speech-after-ac-milan/blt1838d16f323ece49" target="_blank">retired from professional football last summer</a> after his contract with Milan expired. He now serves as a senior advisor to the club's ownership, bringing his extensive experience and football acumen to the administrative side of the game.

DID YOU KNOW?

As Milan Futuro prepares for the upcoming Serie C season, the addition of Maximilian is seen as a strategic move to strengthen the squad. The team aims to develop young talents who can potentially make the leap to the senior squad, ensuring a steady pipeline of skilled players for Milan's future.
