The Frenchman admits he hopes to see his former Paris Saint-Germain team-mate return to San Siro and is confident heading into the new season

Jeremy Menez believes that signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic would immediately turn AC Milan into title contenders.

The Sweden striker has been linked with a return to his former side this summer as they look to further boost their attack ahead of the 2015-16 campaign.

Milan have already signed two strikers – Carlos Bacca from Sevilla and Luiz Adriano from Shakhtar Donetsk – but Menez believes Ibrahimovic could provide a real touch of quality.

“We would surely be contenders,” he told Corriere dello Sport. “Ibra is one who scores a lot of goals, he always wants to win and he encourages you to give even more.

“He is one of the strongest in the world.”

The Rossoneri finished eighth last season, which saw Filippo Inzaghi dismissed as coach at the end of the campaign and replaced by Sinisa Mihajlovic.

But though they will face competition from the likes of Roma, Napoli and Inter for a European berth, Menez says the club must target the Champions League places.
