GdS: ‘A child of tradition’ – Ibrahimovic’s pathway to Milan’s senior team outlined | OneFootball

Hearing the name Ibrahimovic is no new thing in football, especially to AC Milan fans. However, another Ibra is coming into the mix – Zlatan’s son, Maximilian.

It is a given that wearing an iconic name on your back holds a weight and adds pressure, and Milan are no strangers to this, given the history they have with the children of former greats, and on some occasions, their children.

However, it can be argued that the Rossoneri offer a fantastic home to these players, after all, they have nurtured generations in the past, and a similar story is being written at present by Zlatan and Maximilian Ibrahimovic.

The iconic striker returned to the Diavolo last season, and he is influential across multiple areas, and he is playing a role in nurturing young talent, as we have seen with Francesco Camarda. Understandably, then, he will play a similar role for his son, but there will be no special treatment.

As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, Max is a ‘child of tradition’ and wearing the name Ibrahimovic holds a significant weight. However, after signing his first professional contract with the club, and scoring a brace for the Primavera squad, he has the talent there to progress.

This season, he is expected to be between the Primavera and the Futuro squad, but like Camarda, he is destined to grow towards the first team, but there will be no rush. After all, time is of the essence for both players, and Maximilian Ibrahimovic is certainly going down the right route towards the senior set-up.
