Ibrahimovic to stay with Milan

Posted Wednesday, April 18, 2012 by ESPN

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is determined to stay in Serie A with the Italian giants, according to the player's agent.

The 30-year-old is now in his second season at the San Siro and has scored a remarkable 23 goals in 26 league games this term.

His agent Mino Raiola told Panorama: "The situation regarding his future is clear.

"Milan don't want to sell him and he doesn't want to leave. The rest are theories, dreams and baseless assumptions.

"The voices which are suggesting otherwise are not true, also because he is the kind of guy who doesn't hide his intentions."

The Sweden international has another two years to run on his present deal but Raiola strangely admits his stay with Serie A's second-placed team will not depend on the time left on his contract; just at it had little bearing when he has left previous clubs.

"His agreement expires in 2014, even if expiry dates count for little," added Raiola. "He had two-and-a-half years left with Inter, four with Barcelona.

"Whether Zlatan stays or one day goes will have nothing to do with the time left on his contract. Ibra, as he has always said, is happy in Milan."
