Could Atlanta United FC be in on Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
The legendary striker played his last game with Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday as the team celebrated their fourth-straight Ligue 1 title, and he is now set to find his next challenge.
Another face was at the game that should be of interest to MLS fans. That would be Atlanta United's technical director Carlos Bocanegra.
The former USMNT captain was at the game working with beIN SPORTS, but could he have also been scouting Zlatan?
Reports have surfaced that that he'd be interested in a move to MLS, specifically with the LA Galaxy, while weighing interest from other clubs, including Manchester United.
Atlanta United would be an interesting fit for Zlatan, as they prepare to kick off their inaugural season in MLS in 2017. If the team was able to get his discovery rights, they could sign the Swedish legend and have him play on loan before they're ready to start preseason in January.
Ibrahimovic joined PSG in 2012, helping the club to Ligue 1 titles in all four of his seasons in Paris. PSG’s all-time leading scorer with 152 goals in 178 games across all competitions, the Swedish striker was named Ligue 1 Player of the Year three times in his four years in France.
In addition to the championships at PSG, Ibrahimovic has won league titles with Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan. Sweden’s all-time leading scorer with 62 goals in 112 career senior team appearances, he has only missed out on league titles twice – in the 2002-03 season with Ajax and in the 2010-11 campaign with AC Milan – in the last 15 European seasons.
