Ibra tight-lipped on future

KEEPING everyone guessing about his next move, Zlatan Ibrahimovic brushed aside rumors linking him to Manchester United or hometown club Malmo yesterday.

Speculation about his next move has been rife since Ibrahimovic left Paris Saint-Germain after scoring a career-high 38 league goals this season.

“I want you to still write a lot of stories so I get excited when I see them,” the 34-year-old striker said at Sweden’s pre-European Championship training camp in Bastad. “Because I want to see who is making up the best story and when I’m tired of it I will let you know where I will go.”

Asked about comments he made two days ago suggesting he will be back in Malmo, he said he meant with the national team, not the Swedish league.

“I’m still not interested. I’m too good for the Swedish league,” Ibrahimovic said.

If he were to return to Malmo FF, he added, he wouldn’t even be discussing it with club officials, suggesting they would just have to accept whatever terms he decided. “I make my own deal, I make my own budget,” Ibrahimovic said. “That’s how things stand with MFF.”
