“If he does want to quit, then I’ll lock him up in a prison cell until he changes his mind!”
Meanwhile, Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has heaped praise on Ibrahimovic, saying it would be premature for him to hang up his boots this summer.
“Ibra is one of the best players in the world”, Mancini told France Football. That sounds to me like the financials will certainly play a part in it all. They have already wrapped up the league title and have the possibility of progressing to the semi-finals of the Champions League, but they have to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium with the score standing at 2-2 following the first-leg.
Blanc has admitted he is in the dark over where Ibrahimovic will be playing his football next season and for the moment is just focused on getting the most out of the 34-year-old.
Ibrahimovic himself has kept everyone guessing as to his next move but has hinted that his future could lie in the Premier League.
“Zlatan knows what he wants to do”, he told RMC. “It would be odd if there were not offers for him, and that the same for Maxwell”.
Ibrahimovic’s agent Mino Raiola says that PSG’s performance in the Champions League will not decide his future, but admits he doesn’t want to see his client call it a day either.
“We want to take the right decision, but we’re not in any rush”, he said.
