The social “war”<\/strong> between Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic<\/strong> and EA Sports<\/strong>, regarding image rights and the use of the names and faces of players in the FIFA<\/strong> series, does not seem to want to calm down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the last twitter of the Swedish striker, it seems that both FIFPro<\/strong> and Milan <\/strong>have never signed contracts to sell the image rights<\/strong> to the Canadian software house. These statements contrast with what the companies have declared in official press releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story is getting complicated. Why did Ibrahimovic <\/strong>through social media say that FIFPro<\/strong> and AC Milan<\/strong> have not entered into agreements with EA Sports<\/strong> when the International Federation of Professional Footballers through the pages of The Telegraph<\/strong> has released statements stating the opposite?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it a coincidence that the Swede has decided to reply to the declarations of the Canadian software house a few minutes after the presentation of the Icon cards<\/strong> of the English midfielder David Beckham<\/strong><\/a>? At this point it is reasonable to think that the problem arose when both Ibrahimovic <\/strong>and his agent Raiola <\/strong>became aware of the contractual terms stipulated with the former Real Madrid<\/strong>, which provide for the payment of an amount close to 45 million euro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned to our pages, the story does not seem to be clarified yet and there will certainly be new updates on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s not about collective image rights. Your games are based on individual image rights. You did not buy it from FIFPro<\/strong> because they told us. You did not buy if from AC Milan<\/strong> because they told us. You also did not buy it from me. Who did you buy it from then?<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
