The contract of the 39-year-old expires in June, but the striker is open to staying at the club until 2022.
“If Paolo [Maldini] wants, I’m up for it,” Ibrahimovic told RAI on Sunday.
According to Il Corriere della Sera, Milan do not want to part company with the former Barcelona and Manchester United striker.
There is optimism regarding his contract extension for one more season.
Ibrahimovic turns 40 in October, but the Rossoneri are aware he played a crucial role in developing the club and young players.
For this reason, they are willing to discuss a one-year contract extension that would see the Swede keep a €7m-a-year salary.
However, Milan directors know Ibrahimovic won’t play every game and are also planning to sign a new, young centre-forward for the 2021-22 campaign.
Torino’s Andrea Belotti has been linked with a move to Milan, but according to reports in Italy, PSV’s Donyell Malen is also on the Rossoneri’s radars.
Mino Raiola will play a key role in negotiations as he’s both Ibra and Malen's agent.
