Everyone wants him and everyone dreams of him. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one of the most important players whose contract expires in June and his outspoken agent Mino Raiola was interviewed by RMC to give his thoughts on his client's future.
"Zlatan’s sole priority at this moment is to end the season well, he wants to qualify to the Champions League final and if possible win it. Then he wants to have a great European Championship with Sweden. The rest is my problem, we want to make the right decision but now is the moment to take all the time necessary. Does PSG's adventure in Europe affect his decision? Absolutely not."
"Offers from other clubs? Of course. The whole world wants Zlatan, it would be absurd if there were no offers. But there are offers for Maxwell and Van der Wiel too, we are talking about players of the highest quality. If Zlatan will retire at the end of the season? Zlatan is not a normal player, he's still very strong. I've already said that in my opinion he can play another 5 years, if he doesn’t want to continue playing football for himself, then let him continue for me! If he does retire, it would be like not being able to see the Mona Lisa at the museum. It would be a crime in the world of sport, ff he does want to quit, then I’ll lock him up in a prison cell until he changes his mind. He's very motivated, this why all clubs want him. He doesn't need to play for financial reasons, he want's to continue to see if he can still improve, also at this level, as he has done this seaosn. A €75 million offer from China? I have never commented on figures in my career and I wont start now. I'm not saying that the financial aspect isn't important but it's not the main issue. If you are the best player in the world it's only normal that you are paid as such."
