By JOHN BOSCHINI

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has expressed interest in finishing out his career in Major League Soccer, becoming the latest European superstar to contemplate a move across the Atlantic.

The AC Milan striker and Swedish international told Voetbal International "This is my last contract with a club in Europe. When I'm done in Milan I will play for a couple of years in the United States."

Ibrahimovic, 29, is under contract with the Italian club until 2014 so it could be awhile before we see the temperamental striker in MLS.

Here are some more stories to kick off your Monday:

Feasibility study released on Baltimore stadium

A feasibility study on D.C. United's possible move to a soccer-specific stadium in Baltimore has been released. According to the study released by Baltimore Development Corporation, up to 940 jobs and $2.8 million in city taxes could be generated either of the two proposed stadiums. The stadium, and adjacent hotel, would host up to 54 events during the year including all of D.C. United's home games. United entered into preliminary talks about the move last fall.

The worsening budget crunch in Poland has taken its toll on road and other infrastructure improvements planned ahead of the Euro 2012 Championships. Poland's infrastructure manager, Cezary Grabarcyz, said that some projects will be moved to 2013 after the program's funding was severly cut. Poland, which will co-host next summer's tournament with Ukraine, has a subpar highway network.

Schalke's stadium damaged by snow

The winter weather which has effected fixtures throughout Europe has claimed another victim, Schalke's Veltins Arena. For the second time ! this yea r, the German stadium could not hold the masive amounts of snow dumped on its roof, resulting in a hole being torn in it, dumping snow onto the field. About 100,000 euros worth of damage has been done to the arena but it should be ready before the end of the Bundesliga winter break.
