LA Galaxy president Chris Klein: Zlatan Ibrahimovic prefers to stay in Europe

The Galaxy signed Jonathan dos Santos this week. Dos Santos becomes the club's third designated player, meaning they cannot break the wage barrier to sign Ibrahimovic while Dos Santos, his brother Giovani, and Roman Alessandrini remain with the Galaxy.

However, Klein did not rule out a move for the 35-year-old Swede later in his career:

"We have an incredible relationship with Zlatan and his agent. He loves our club, and he loves L.A.

"We have an interest in him. I think, for now, he wants to stay in Europe.

"Our doors are open for a player like that. We have rights to him in our league. We'll see where that goes."

There have been rumours that Ibrahimovic will sign on for another season at Manchester United when he fully recovers from his knee surgery, though United have bought Romelu Lukaku from Everton for £70m to lead the line for them.
