# Leeds United: Fans debate Zlatan Ibrahimovic links in response to Andrea Radrizzani interview

**According to an interview with Sky Italia journalist [Gianluca Di Marzio via the Yorkshire Evening Post](https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/andrea-radrizzani-reveals-leeds-united-interest-zlatan-ibrahimovic-2517212), Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has revealed that the club had ‘[tentative](https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/andrea-radrizzani-reveals-leeds-united-interest-zlatan-ibrahimovic-2517212)‘ interest in AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic – with supporters reacting to the news with mixed reviews.**

Ibrahimovic, who is by all accounts a legendary European striker having netted a grand total of 460 career goals to date whilst assisting 179 others ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/zlatan-ibrahimovic/leistungsdaten/spieler/3455)), currently plies his trade at AC Milan – playing a bit-part role with just eight season appearances so far.

Indeed, when announcing his winter departure from MLS side LA Galaxy, Radrizzani has revealed that he considered swooping for the Swede – with the 38-year-old later opting to re-sign at the San Siro on a six-month deal.

Reacting to the revelation, many Leeds supporters have been in full discussion – with one fan hinting that he would ‘[rather not upset Bielsa](https://twitter.com/smorrison85/status/1242751034981781504?s=21)‘ whilst another claimed that the Whites ‘[don’t need egos](https://twitter.com/morereasonsthan/status/1242755543208468483?s=21)‘.

> Love the idea that Radz spike to Zlatan which shows his ambition and has not ruled out speaking to him again if we get promotion. I do wonder though what Bielsa would do with a 39 year old who obviously wouldnt be chasing back as much. Ibra will score goals everywhere he goes but

> With Zlatan it’s self before side. Every time. He wouldn’t run a tap for his teammates, let alone run his socks off for 90 minutes.
