    If the fact that AC Milan actually accepted the offer from PSG for Zlatan Ibrahimovic surprised some of you, maybe the news of the player and the French club not finding even ground regarding his contract is a bit less of a surprise, with the Swedish striker looking for more money per year on a shorter deal than what is currently on the table.
