Zlatan Ibrahimovic has admitted he talked to
other clubs over the summer, but a heart-to-heart with Paris Saint-Germain
president Nasser Al Khelaifi convinced him to stay with the Ligue 1
champions.
Ibrahimovic, 31, top scored in Ligue 1 last
season as Carlo Ancelotti steered PSG to the French title for the first time
since 1994. However, having spent the majority of his career in Serie A, intense
speculation linked the Sweden international with a return to Italy during the
summer transfer window.
PSG, however, announced on Tuesday the striker
had signed a one-season extension to the three-year deal he penned upon his
arrival at the Parc des Princes from AC Milan just over a year ago. Ibrahimovic
put his decision down to a discussion he held with Al Khelaifi.
“It’s true that my agent and I spoke to several
clubs but, after meeting the PSG president, I decided to stay here. We reached
an agreement,” Ibrahimovic, who reportedly saw his salary rise from an annual
€13.8m to €15m as a consequence of his new deal, told the media following his
team’s 1-0 win at Valenciennes on Wednesday.”
