The 38-year-old has agreed a one-year deal worth €7m after arriving in January as a free agent from the LA Galaxy.
“I wanted to come back home. Now we can start working to bring in even better results,” Ibrahimovic told the official Milan Facebook page.
“As I’ve always said, I am not here to be a mascot, but to bring results, to get Milan back where they ought to be. We had six great months, but haven’t won anything yet.
“We have the chance now to work from the start and make sacrifices to reach our objectives. I feel in good shape. I hope to see the fans in the stadium soon, as the team needs its supporters and we want to get them jumping. Forza Milan, always.”
He did not take part in pre-season training from the beginning, as he was holding out for the right conditions to sign on.
Before joining in with his former teammates, Zlatan must first undergo a COVID-19 test and self-isolate at home until the results are through.
The Swede scored 10 goals in 18 Serie A games for the Rossoneri last season.
It was his second spell at San Siro with Milan after 2010-12, so Ibra has played 105 competitive games for the club, scoring 67 goals and providing 29 assists.
