AC Milan technical director, Paolo Maldini, has confirmed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will automatically be given a year's contract extension if the club qualifies for the Champions League.
Ibrahimovic signed a six-month deal with Milan in December, which included the clause for the 38-year-old should they end their six-year absence from Europe's top club competition.
"There's a six-month contract with an automatic renewal clause in case we reach the Champions League," Maldini was quoted by the Daily Mail.
"Otherwise, we'll put ourselves round the table with him. With Ibra, there must always be an open dialogue and this exists, otherwise he would not have come in the first place."
It is Ibrahimovic's second spell at the club, having netted 42 times in 61 games between 2010 and 2012 - winning the title in 2010/11. The striker also helped them reach the Champions League quarter-finals in 2012.
