A-Z Sportswear, the clothing line of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, may have given away the Swedish striker’s next destination. His contract expiring at Manchester United, the club have decided not to renew. Recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, and subsequent knee surgery, he won’t be back in action until at least January.
Ibra is rehabilitating at the club’s Carrington training ground. Sources have told ESPN FC there remains a possibility Ibrahimovic could sign a short-term deal with United once he is fully fit. Of course, that’s a long shot at best.
AC Milan, LAFC, and LA Galaxy are the current front-runners to acquire Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and given that, take a look at this tweet from his sportswear line A-Z:

That font is definitely much closer to the color of expansion LAFC, who begin play in 2018, then it is the L.A. Galaxy.
“Many clubs are interested in Ibrahimovic, from MLS in the USA, but also in Italy would be possible Napoli? Everything is possible, but I think Napoli will not be his next club,” said Ibrahimovic’s agent Mino Raiola. (quotes from Sky Sports).
Thus, one could infer that Ibra’s next destination is LAFC, or at least one of the two clubs in the city of angels.
Or it’s just a commercial publicity stunt, as the brand is trying to bring awareness to their now being available in L.A.?
I guess we’ll just have to see.
