AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli feels Zlatan Ibrahimovic will play on next season.

The Swede is struggling with injury as Milan prepare a new contract offer for him.

Pioli said: “First of all, it's important to know what Ibra thinks," the coach said.

“For the way that I know him, I think he wants to keep playing. His condition is improving, maybe slower than we thought, but he's doing better.

"Tomorrow he will return to the pitch. He trained apart from the group these days and ran on the sand."
