One of the biggest news in the recently opened winter transfer window is the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Serie A. The Swedish striker has finally agreed to a six-month deal with Milan, and fans can't seem to get enough of him.
The footballer made his way into the city earlier today, where he ran into AC Milan fans at the airport. Needless to say, Zlatan received rockstar-like treatment from his new supporters, who mobbed the car to get a glimpse of the iconic player.
