Ibrahimovic remains coy on future

 

Zlatan Ibrahimovic remained typically coy when questioned over his future following Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea on Wednesday.

Ibrahimovic, 34, scored one and set up Adrien Rabiot for another to help the Parisians secure a comfortable 4-2 aggregate victory at Stamford Bridge.

The striker, who began his career at Swedish club Malmo, has now scored four goals and set up four assists in eight games in this season’s Champions League.

Some reports have linked him with a possible move to the Premier League in the summer.

However, the former Juventus and Barcelona striker remained tight-lipped when questioned on his possible departure from the Parc des Princes.

“When I leave PSG? Okay you already said it,” said Ibrahimovic. “I have another three months with PSG, so for the moment I’m not talking to anybody. It’s not the moment for it.”

Laurent Blanc’s side have now qualified for the quarter-final stage of the Champions League for the fourth consecutive year.

And Ibrahimovic firmly believes his side deserved to go through after dominating Guus Hiddink’s Blues for much of the tie.

“We controlled the game, we had a lot of patience in our game and we played with possession like we like to play,” he said.

“When we needed to attack we did. We took the chances that we created.”

Meanwhile, defeat for Chelsea all but ends the possibility of their participation in next year’s Champions League. The Blues remain 10 points off the top four in the Premier League and may now have to cope without Diego Costa, who was substituted midway through the second half with a suspected hip injury.
