Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn’t hesitate when naming the greatest player of all time, choosing one of the most prolific goal-scorers in soccer history.
When it comes to legendary goal-scorers, Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s name is certainly in the conversation. The Swedish striker, who hung up his boots in 2023 at the age of 41, netted 580 goals across a remarkable 24-year career, ranking him 14th on the all-time scoring list.
Only a select few players have outscored Ibrahimovic, who made his mark in some of the world’s top leagues. With his incredible ability to find the back of the net and his vast experience, Ibrahimovic is more than qualified to weigh in on who he believes is the greatest player in soccer history.
Having played for elite clubs like Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, AC Milan, PSG, and Manchester United, and boasting over 30 titles, Zlatan’s opinion carries significant weight in the soccer world.
While many would expect him to choose iconic figures like Pelé, Diego Maradona, or modern-day stars like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Swedish star took a slightly different route, but one equally deserving of recognition, as he chose Ronaldo Nazario.
