AC Milan director Paolo Maldini says Zlatan Ibrahimovic wants to play on next season.

The Swede is off contract in June.

Maldini said, “Zlatan knows what he wants, he doesn't fake anything, he knows what the possible agreement with Milan could be. If he doesn't feel like continuing, he'll be the first to say so.

“His idea is to continue. Zlatan will never be a burden on this team, but only a resource."

Ibrahimovic missed last night's derby win against Inter Milan.
