Zlatan Ibrahimovic's eldest son, Maximilian, has taken a significant step in his football career by signing his first professional contract with AC Milan. The 17-year-old forward will be joining Milan's reserves team, 'Milan Futuro,' as they compete in Serie C during the upcoming 2024-25 season.
Maximilian's journey to this point has seen him progress through the ranks of AC Milan's youth system, having featured for the club's under-18 squad in the previous season. His experience also includes stints at the academies of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, showcasing his exposure to top-tier football environments.
Following in the footsteps of his legendary father, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is Sweden's all-time leading goal scorer, Maximilian's commitment to AC Milan marks a significant milestone in his development as a professional footballer. Zlatan himself retired from playing last summer after his contract with AC Milan came to an end, transitioning into a senior advisory role within the club's ownership structure.
Notably, Maximilian is not the only member of the Ibrahimovic family making waves within AC Milan's youth setup. His younger brother, Vincent, is also part of the club's youth system, indicating a potential continuation of the family legacy within the prestigious Italian club.
As Maximilian embarks on this new chapter in his career, the footballing world will be watching closely to see how he navigates the challenges and opportunities that come with professional football at such a young age. With the guidance of his father and the support of AC Milan, Maximilian Ibrahimovic is poised to make his mark in the world of football and carve out his own path in the sport.
