MILAN (AP) - AC Milan is hoping a full season from Zlatan IbrahimoviÄ‡ will result in a return to the Champions League after a seven-year absence.

Seven-time European champion Milan announced on Monday that the 38-year-old IbrahimoviÄ‡ signed a one-season contract.

The deal is reportedly worth 7 million euros ($8.3 million).

IbrahimoviÄ‡ began his second stint with Milan in January on a six-month contract and helped turn the Rossoneri's season around with 10 goals in 18 Serie A matches.

Milan finished sixth in the Italian league this month and earned a Europa League spot.

Serie A opens on Sept. 19, although IbrahimoviÄ‡ could make his season debut two days earlier when Milan visits Shamrock Rovers of Ireland in the Europa League's second qualifying round.
