Maximilian Ibrahimovic Set to Make Debut for AC Milan in Italian Supercup

Maximilian Ibrahimovic, the 19-year-old forward and son of legendary striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is poised to make his first-team debut for AC Milan in the upcoming Italian Supercup against Napoli. The match will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with kickoff scheduled for 20:00. Head coach Massimiliano Allegri has included Ibrahimovic in the matchday squad, marking his first potential appearance after previously only training with the senior team.

Known as “Ibra Jr” in Italian media, Maximilian has been making waves with Milan's reserve team, Milan Futuro, in Serie D. This season, he has scored four goals and provided two assists in 14 matches, demonstrating his promise at the senior level. He is one of five Milan Futuro players called up alongside the first team for this significant fixture.

Maximilian has also played for AC Milan’s U19 team, Milan Primavera, while his younger brother Vincent competes in the U18 side. Their father, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is 44 years old and currently a sports advisor for AC Milan’s first team, adds a notable family connection to the story.

The Italian Supercup, a prestigious event in Italian football, presents an important opportunity for Maximilian to showcase his talent on a major stage. This debut will be closely watched by fans and media, especially given his famous lineage.
