Ibrahimovic snubbed £70million-a-year deal in China

Manchester United terminated the Swede's contract last month so that he could get more playing time elsewhere. Ibrahimovic wasted no time finding a new club, and almost immediately announced his new adventure with LA Galaxy. 

The striker made a splash on his arrival stateside, staging what was possibly the best debut in football history when he came off the bench to equalise with a spectacular long-range volley before heading home to give his new side all three points. 

Joining Galaxy came at a price for Zlatan, who took a 95 per cent pay cut and also turned down an obscene offer from the rapidly expanding Chinese Super League. According to 'Sports Illustrated,' Ibra was offered a yearly salary of $100million (roughly £70million).

His current conract at LA Galaxy is worth $1.5million-a-year - drastically lower than his £19million-a-year he earned at Old Trafford. This is due the unique salary regulations in the MLS that involve maximum wage restrictions.
