Ibra, 38, intends to see out his career in Italy, Galaxy head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto claimed, and will not be short on options given his free agent status.

“There is a month and a half to go until to the transfer window opens,” Bigon told Sky Sport Italia.
“As has been said, Ibrahimovic and the coach have a strong personal relationship.
“He expressed an openness to the idea of coming to Bologna but now he will take time, after announcing the farewell to MLS, to evaluate all the possibilities for his future.
“We are very fascinated by this situation but it is clear that we do not control it 100 per cent.
“The choice is exclusively down to the player. We will wait in case [Ibrahimovic confirms his interest], then we will be ready and more than positive.”
