Agent: 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic not joining Manchester United, Chelsea'

The agent of PSG hitman Zlatan Ibrahimovic says that his client's four-game ban will not push him toward an exit, amid speculation linking him with a move to England.

The agent of Paris Saint-Germain star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has ruled out a summer exit for his client.

The Swede was thought to be growing frustrated in Ligue 1 after receiving a four-game suspension for criticising a referee last month, before labelling the ban a "disgrace".

Manchester United and Chelsea have been linked with summer moves, but his representative says that the 33-year-old will rise above his recent sanction and stay at Parc des Princes.

Mino Raiola told Foot Mercato: "He will not leave France because of this suspension. This is not what will happen. He is much stronger than that. He fought all his life against people who do not know him and want to test him. He always said, 'Only God can judge me.

"He may become even more warlike. Because the more you attack Zlatan, the more Zlatan goes to war. Zlatan was the most important player of the Paris project. And that's still the case.

"Zlatan can not be on the transfer market. There is no need to ask me that. This is bullshit. Zlatan has a contract with PSG. But, you know, everyone has to write something about Zlatan... Will he be here next year? I answer yes."

Ibrahimovic scored twice as PSG thumped 10-man Bastia 4-0 on Saturday to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue - potentially the first of four trophies this season.
