Ibrahimovic was banned for four matches recently following an outburst after a 3-2 defeat to Bordeaux when he called France a “s**t country” and denigrated the nation’s referees.
The legendary Sweden star had been linked with a move to Liverpool as rumours grew regarding a possible departure from Ligue 1, where he has scored a remarkable 73 goals in 88 games for PSG.
But the colourful Raiola says Ibrahimovic thrives on adversity and will only use the perceived injustice of his ban to fire him on next season.
“He will not leave France because of this suspension,” Raiola told Foot Mercato. “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 cannot be on the transfer market. There is no need to ask me that. This is b******t. 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.”
