“We are truly happy to embrace a champion like Ibra again. He will give us a big helping hand to get back on track,” Massara told Sky Sport Italia.
“Ibrahimovic immediately put himself at the disposal of the team and wants to help out. He’s been with us in training for two days and hasn’t played for two months, but we’re happy he is fit for the bench.”
Massara flew to Barcelona over the last few days for a face-to-face meeting with defender Todibo.
“It wasn’t a raid, we are evaluating if there is the opportunity to further reinforce the squad. Along with Todibo, there are other profiles we are studying.
“He is an interesting player, we’ll verify if the conditions are right for Milan, otherwise it won’t be a problem to look elsewhere.
“The transfer market is always dynamic in January with situations evolving continually. Now we believe a defender is needed to complete the squad, but we’ve got time until January 31.”
