Ibrahimovic no longer an internal figure at Milan, Sky reports

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is becoming increasingly detached from AC Milan's day-to-day operations.

This is reflected in his increasingly rare public appearances alongside business partner Gerry Cardinale, as well as his limited presence at the Milanello training ground, where he was spotted on 14 September (the eve of Milan's Europa League opener against Benfica) after an absence of six months.

The latest report from Sky Sport adds further weight to the rumours surrounding his position. While it remains unclear whether this shift is the result of a decision made by Ibrahimovic himself or by Gerry Cardinale, Sky reports that the former Rossoneri striker should no longer be considered an internal, quasi-executive figure at Milan.
