Blanc dismisses Ibrahimovic speculation

 

Laurent Blanc has moved to dismiss reports linking Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a move away from PSG this summer. 

 

Speculation suggested the Sweden international would be allowed to move away from Paris during the transfer window. 

 

A number of teams on the continent would be keen on Ibrahimovic, with Inter boss Roberto Mancini admitting he was looking to lure the cult hero frontman back to the San Siro. 

 

However, PSG boss Blanc has quickly played down reports suggesting the 33-year-old would be allowed to depart for pastures news this summer.

"There was never any doubt of him staying," Blanc told reporters. 

 

"I don’t attach any importance to rumours. For us it was very clear: Ibra was always part of the 2015-2016 squad." 

 

Ibrahimovic once again impressed for PSG last season, netting 19 goals and registering a further 6 assists to gain a WhoScored rating of 7.75, the best of all players in Ligue 1.
