Zlatan Ibrahimovic backtracks on PSG commitment

Ibrahimovic, 33, has been linked with a return to AC Milan and a possible move to Arsenal already this summer but in a press conference prior to Sweden’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro he rubbished such reports.

"I belong to PSG. I have one year left on my contract and there is no truth to these stories. I'm a PSG player," he said.

"I really don't think I will leave. We won everything at PSG this season. I have no idea where the stories come from but I guess people need something to write about."

However, after scoring the 55th and 56th goals of his international career against Montengro, Ibrahimovic’s stance softened somewhat.

"I still have one year left on my contract," Ibrahimovic told Channel 5 when asked about a return to Milan. "I belong to PSG. I do not have another plan, but things can change from one day to another.

"I cannot say much now, but I belong to PSG and we will continue like that. But the older I get, the more I have to think differently about choosing a club.

"This concerns not only the footballing aspect, but also the quality of life for my family.

"Many people think that the number one criterion is the Champions League. But this is not true. I want to be in a club that I like, where I have a good time, and have fun playing football.

"If I do not win the Champions League, believe me, my career has been magical anyway. Check my track record; it speaks for itself."

Ibrahimovic played for Milan between 2010 and 2011, scoring 56 goals in 85 games and winning Serie A in his first season.
