AC Milan director Paolo Maldini admits Zlatan Ibrahimovic is yet to commit to next season.

However, Maldini is confident of the Swede agreeing to play again next term.

“We are one of the youngest teams in Europe and we need a leader like Ibrahimovic," Maldini told BeinSport.

“We tried to sign him in 2018 when he was playing for LA Galaxy.

“He's told us that the contract extension depends on his body, but if he carries on like this, I don't see why he shouldn't be continuing.

“We have three players with expiring contracts in 2022, we are working. There must be to parties happy to continue together, footballers are professional who only think about the pitch, we hope we are going to reach agreements soon."
