The 38-year old Swede has scored over 450 goals for various clubs in his long career. He is still going strong as he returned to Europe with AC Milan after spending 2 seasons in the MLS. He has represented European powerhouses throughout his career, adding Manchester United to the list before moving to LA Galaxy. The highest amount of time he has spent at a single club is 4 seasons at PSG.

After honing his craft and developing at Ajax for three years, he moved to Juventus in August 2004. He played 92 games for the club, scoring 26 goals and providing 12 assists in the process. The numbers may seem underwhelming but that didn't stop him from winning Footballer of the Year at Juventus in 2005.

Like most stars, he left the club when the scandal hit as Inter paid almost €25 million for him. Mino Raiola maintains that the scandal had nothing to do with the departure, saying he had already arranged the deal a year before it happened.

His time at Juventus was rewarding. Fabio Capello takes credit for making him the goal-machine that he is today.

Zlatan agrees with Capello.

"In the beginning, where I grew up it was not about scoring goals, it was about who had the best skills, the best technique and I brought that with me wherever I went. That changed when I came to Juventus. I think. I was at Ajax, playing beautiful. I had the pressure, but where it was all about goals was in Italy, with Capello. Everything was new for me. Juventus was like, ‘Wow, big club, big players, big Coach, big history. Italian football, Serie A. Wow’."
