Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is ready to snub a massive £120m offer from China as he is willing to extend his contract at Old Trafford, according to Daily Mail.
The 35-year old has been in scintillating form off late after a relatively slow start to his Manchester United career earlier this season. Zlatan has scored an impressive 10 goals for the club in the last 9 games and has been the focal point of their attack over the last few weeks.
The Swede has also scored a brace to help Manchester United win a difficult game against West Brom on Wednesday which saw the Red Devils clinch their third successive win in the Premier League. Zlatan who has joined Manchester United on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in summer has signed only one-year deal with the Red Devils with an option to extend it by one more year.
The 35-year old is also the third highest scorer in the Premier League and has been the best in form striker in the league. Zlatan’s global appeal has lured the Chinese government to offer a massive £120m for the striker, claims Daily Mail.
The Chinese Super League clubs have tried to sign the veteran striker this summer but have failed in their pursuit as the Swedish legend chose to go to Old Trafford. Despite being desperate to land the striker, Zlatan is happy with his current position at the club and is willing to pen a new deal that would see him in United colors till the end of next season.
After their impressive 2-0 win against West Brom, Ibrahimovic told BT Sport: ‘I’m here. I’m here to play. I want to play.
‘As a football player you get blind sometimes because you have to listen to your body. As long as he needs me and the team needs me I’m here.’
Zlatan has so far scored 16 goals for Manchester United in 25 appearances across all competitions and have made difference in front of the goal which the side lacked last season under Louis van Gaal.
