The Swede made his professional debut with Malmo FF in 1999, before moving to Ajax Amsterdam two years later, where he would go on to make his senior national team debut. After an impressive three-year spell with the Dutch side, Ibrahimovic moved to Italy and signed for Juventus in 2004.
The forward shocked Italy when he signed for rivals Inter Milan in 2006, only to become Lionel Messi's teammate three years later when Barcelona signed the journeyman for a record fee of €69 million (R1.1 billion).
