Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent has rubbished speculation that the mercurial Swedish striker will leave PSG this summer.

Reports yesterday had linked the 33-year-old with a shock move to the Liverpool or Arsenal, but Mino Raiola says that his client will not be going anywhere.

"He has a contract and cannot just decide to leave by himself," Raiola told Journal du Dimanche.

"President Nasser Al-Khelaifi was asked about this and said no, PSG will not sell Ibrahimovic."

Ibrahimovic was an integral part of PSG's domestic treble winning team last season, scoring 30 goals in all competitions.

The striker has just a year remaining on his contract with the Ligue 1 champions.

Ibrahimovic had also been linked with a return to AC Milan this summer. He spent two seasons at Milan from 2010-2012 before joining PSG.

AC Milan's president said of Ibrahimovic only last month: "I'm fixated on his return, although it's a very difficult thing to make happen, and it will take patience. But he's magnificent on the pitch."
