Kulusevski Urges Ibrahimovic To Make Sweden U-Turn
Juventus forward Dejan Kulusevski has urged Zlatan Ibrahimovic to come out of international retirement and feature for Sweden in this summer’s European Championships.
Ibrahimovic remains Sweden’s all-time top scorer with 62 goals in 116 appearances but has not featured for his country since the 2016 European Championships in France.
The 39-year-old AC Milan forward has flirted with the idea of making an international return in the past but that is yet to come to fruition.
Despite his advancing years, Ibrahimovic continues to perform at the highest level when called upon by the Rossoneri and Kulusevski believes the evergreen forward could do a job for Sweden, who have been paired in a group alongside Spain, Poland and Slovakia, this summer.
"We write to each other. He is an idol for me, as hardly anyone in the world can do what he does," 20-year-old Kulusevski told Sky Sport Italia of Ibrahimovic, who has scored 10 league goals this season and 11 across all competitions for Serie A-leading Milan.
"When he speaks highly of me, it makes me work even harder the next day in training, because I am so proud.
"I really hope he returns for international duty with Sweden at the Euros. It would be wonderful for me and all of Sweden. Come on, Ibra!"
