The future of Milan striker Marco Borriello is up in the air after the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic over the weekend.

Borriello acknowledges he will find it tough to get game time at the Rossoneri with the Sweden international at the club, and will now be speaking to his agent about his next move.

"Zlatan is a great champion, but with his arrival, space for me in the side becomes harder," the Italian international told Milannews.it.

"I need to evaluate my future and speak to the society and my agent. I want to keep on playing as I am at the peak of my career.

Borriello made a starting appearance for the Rossoneri in their 4-0 demolition of Lecce this evening, with Ibrahimovic in the stands. He was also linked with a move to the Catalan giants in the exchange for Ibrahimovic, but it was later refused.

The former Blaugrana player was officially presented at half-time, where he again reiterated his reasons for being at the Diavoli.

"I want to win everything," he affirmed.
