Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent Riola spoke about his client future and said that he has at least eight years left in him to play at top level but also insists his future may not end at Paris Saint-Germain.
Ibrahimovic who is 33 year old have signed a year long contract extension with the French champions after his initial three year contract back in 2012 when he moved from AC Milan. Riola also made it clear Zlatan will not hang up his boots when he leaves PSG.
He said, “He still has eight years to work. We struck a deal. He has worked for me for 15 years. Now, he’s going to work his last eight years for me.”
“That means his career could last another eight years. He’s in great shape. I don’t know if he’s going to stay at Paris Saint-Germain for eight years, but he can play until he’s 42-43 years old.”
“He’s happy in Paris. He tries to do his best, all the time. I think he’s in top form. This year, he has had a few problems, but now, it’s fine. The future, it’s short.”
“Every summer we see what happens. But he still has a year left on his contract come the end of the season. The club is very happy, so is he. I don’t see any problem.”
Riola also claims that the forward remains hungry for success.
He continued saying, “Zlatan has always had the same will to continue to be the best. Of course, he’s not used to being off the pitch due to injury. But he has never told me, ‘I’m sick of this, I don’t want to train anymore, I don’t care if I win or lose.”
“Zlatan has never told me anything like that. He still has the same motivation to win. He is still just as much a perfectionist. That’s his mentality. He still has the same hunger as when I found him at Ajax. He has even improved in that respect.”
