ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC’S latest adventure has seen the superstar buy a 50 per cent stake in Hammarby.
The former Manchester United star bid farewell to LA Galaxy at the end of the MLS season and has linked with a return to Europe on the field.
But in a surprise move, Swedish outfit Hammarby confirmed that the striker had become co-owner after buying AEG Sweden’s half of the Stockholm club.
Ibrahimovic, 38, said: “Hammarby is a fantastic club with passionate supporters and has great respect in both Stockholm and Sweden.
“I have always liked the club and the fans, since then I am impressed with what the club has done in recent years, both on and off the pitch.
“Being able to join and develop Hammarby forward feels both fun and exciting.”
Ibrahimovic confused fans by posting a cryptic reveal video on his Instagram as talks continued.
And excited Hammarby chairman Richard von Yxkull was in Los Angeles to welcome his new partner.
He added: “This is still new to us, but of course very exciting. The timing feels good.
“We have had a strong development in recent years and next year we play in Europe.
“To then get a person like Zlatan Ibrahimovi into the club, with the passion and winning mentality he stands for feels right.
“It is too early to say anything in detail about how Zlatan can contribute to Hammarby Football, but there is clearly very great potential in the collaboration.”
