“I said from the beginning that I am staying at PSG,” Ibrahimovic is quoted as saying by BBC Sport. “I’m happy there.”
“It was concrete from [AC Milan’s] side and they showed great interest.
“I take it as a compliment that there is still interest in me. It means I’m still performing. I take it as positive.”
The mercurial Swede has been one of the best strikers in the world for the last five years. Since signing for PSG, he has scored at least 25 more goals than anyone else in Ligue 1 (75).
