Zlatan Ibrahimovic's son Maximilian has signed his first professional contract at his father's former club AC Milan.

Maximilian, 17, will likely feature with the Milan youth team next season as he aims to follow in his father's footsteps.

Ibrahimovic, who also played for Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Manchester United, announced his retirement from football last year, and is now an advisor for AC Milan after finishing his career with the Italian club.

He scored 93 goals across 163 games during two spells at AC Milan, helping them win Serie A titles in 2011 and 2022.

Former Sweden striker Ibrahimovic scored 511 career club goals and won 34 trophies - including 12 league titles.

In a career that began in the last century, the 42-year-old was nominated for the Ballon d'Or 11 times.

The striker is also Sweden's all-time top scorer with 62 goals in 122 internationals.

The one major club trophy that eluded him was the Champions League, with his only European title being the Europa League with Manchester United in 2017.
