Reports from France say that a top
English Premier League (EPL) club
has made contact with outgoing
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker,
Zlatan Ibrahimovic just hours after
he confirmed his planned exit from
the French club at the end of the
season on Monday.
Reputable French sports
publication, L’Equipe reports on
Tuesday that Manchester United
has stolen a march on Chelsea by
making contact with Ibrahimovic
ahead of a proposed free transfer
even though the striker is set for
talks over an extension at Paris
Saint-Germain next month.
Chelsea had been the leading club
expected to sign on Ibrahimovic
but now it is clear that Manchester
United which has had a pretty bad
season so far is also deeply
interested in getting in a good
bargain for the Swedish striker.
Ibrahimovic had confirmed his
readiness to dump Ligue 1 side,
PSG on Monday even though the
club still wants him according to
PSG president.
“For the moment, I will not be at
PSG next season,” the 34-year-old
said. “I still have a month and a
half left here.”
Ibrahimovic, who is out of contract
at the end of the season and has
been linked with a move to the
Premier League, said he would only
stay “if they replace the Eiffel
Tower with a statue of me.”
