Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims FIFA 21 is using his likeness "without any agreement," EA disagrees
His club signed a licensing deal with 🉐EA earlier this year

Footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic claims that EA and its FIFA franchise have been "making a profit on my name and face without any agreement." In a pair of tweets, the Sweden and AC Milan str🐠iker said that it was "time to investigate" how he had come to be included in the FIFA series ♋"without any real knowledge."
Who gave FIFA EA Sport permission to use my name ♋and face? @FIFPro? I’m not aware to🍌 be a member of Fifpro and if I am I was put there without any real knowledge through some weird manouver. And for sure I never allowed @FIFAcom or Fifpro to make money using me
Last night, the former Manchester United, LA Galaxy, and PSG player took to Twitter to ask "who gave FIFA EA ಞSport permission to use my name and face?" Referring to FIFPro, an international organisation representing 65,000 professional footballers that EA works with, Ibrah𝔍imovic said that he was "not aware" of his membership, and that "if I am [a member] I was put there without any real knowledge through some weird maneuver." In a follow-up tweet, he claimed that "somebody is making profit on my name and face without any agreement all these years."
, EA said that it had a "long-standing relationship" with FIFPro, which in turn partners with several licensors to negotiate deals with teams and players. More importantly, however, earlier this year EA Sports snapped up the licenses for both AC Milan and Inter Milan after the clubs chose not to renew with PES developer Konami. That deal gave EA the right to ▨each teams' kits, stadia, and player likenesses - a detail that pre♕tty directly explains why Ibrahimovic's name and face can be used in the game.At 39, one might imagine that Zlatan won't have to worry about✅ EA including him in its games for too much longer, but as long as he's playing with AC Milan an⛎d this deal stands, it's pretty likely that he'll carry on showing up.
