“I am happy to be back and Milan is my home,” he said while talking to the media after he was presented as a Milan player on Friday. “I feel the affection of the fans, I have an excellent relationship with them. It is important to have the fans who support the team, it is 50% of the work. I am ready to play. When they signed me the first time from Barcelona, they gave me happiness, I want to give Milan something back. I love Milan."

The Swede was with Milan back in 2010 for two years where he represented the Rossoneri with aplomb. The 38-year old featured in 85 matches for the club and scored staggering 56 goals and provided 24 assists.

Milan have lost their glory in recent times but the veteran striker, despite being in the last days of his career, wants to help the club, calling Milan his home.

"I come to help and to improve,” he said. “We think one game at a time, the team has great qualities to do more. It's a marathon, not a 100m challenge. It takes time. I know that the returns of the AC Milan players did not go well in the past but I have not lost passion. I have so much faith, I believe in what I do. On a physical level, over the years, it changes. But mentally not. I will always give 200%."

The Rossoneri are currently languishing in 11th position in the Serie A points table with their cross-town rivals Inter Milan topping the table over record champions Juventus.

Having scored only 16 goals from 17 league matches and with a poor goal difference of -8, Stefano Pioli men needed a leader. In Zlatan Ibrahimovic, they get that and a lot more. Former Sweden international has often inspired young forwards to lift their game. He can be the mentor that they were looking for and Pioli will get a senior player whom he can trust going into the business end of the season.
