ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC puts most 38-year-olds to shame with this amazing topless photo showing off his ripped body.
The legendary Swede remains in tip-top shape despite his advancing years.
And he is set to be rewarded for all his hard work with a new one-year, £100,000-a-week AC Milan deal.
The former Barcelona and Manchester United striker scored 11 goals in 20 games last Serie A season, after rejoining his old club from LA Galaxy.
Milan are set to meet up for training on Monday and bosses want Ibra – who nearly made one of his old Utd team-mates cry in training – to have signed a new deal by then.
Zlatan had been pushing for a £130,000-a-week deal worth £6.77m but the club offered £4.5m a year – worth around £86,000 a year.
It is thought a middle ground of around £100,000 a year will be enough to convince Ibrahimovic to stay.
Zlatan – who worked out even while on holiday on a yacht – captioned his topless photo: “I was born in the dark.”
Some fans saw that comment not as a dig at Malmo, where he was actually born, but as a metaphor for his struggle with contract negotiations.
Either way, there now appears to be light at the end of the tunnel for the formidable striker, who turns 39 on October 3.

The married superstar’s personal life was thrown into turmoil recently, however, when rumours started building suggesting he had struck up a relationship with Italian TV presenter Diletta Leotta after the pair met during filming for a new fitness app.
A spokesperson for Leotta rubbished the claims, saying: “There is no comment to make as there is no relationship between the two apart from a professional collaboration as Ambassador of Buddyfit.”
Ibra has been with wife Helena Seger, 49, for 18 years and the couple have two sons together, Maximilian and Vincent.
