With his appearance, Zlatan Ibrahimovic leaves no one indifferent. And only in words… That is why the new book by the Swede attracts a lot of attention.
After the autobiography that came out in 2011 and which was a real hit, the second book is about the details from the life of the Swedish football player, certainly one of the best strikers of all time.
The Swedish newspaper “Aftonbladet” has come across certain details, which we are transmitting to you in full. We will start with how Ibrahimovic could easily say goodbye to his football career this summer.
– In the summer of 2021, I offered myself to PSG, not as a player, but to be the sports director. I called Naser al Khelaifi and offered him: If I do not extend my contract with Milan, I will come to PSG and return the structure to your team. Nasser laughed, but didn’t say no.
Ibra admitted that it would be very difficult for him to say goodbye to actively playing football.
– I liked the challenge in Paris, but it did not diminish the feeling of fear and panic at the thought of finishing my football career.
I would go to Paris, watch the team train and ask myself a thousand times: Why did you stop?
Ibrahimovic tried to describe the details of the negotiations with Manchester United, which, in the opinion of the high striker, took a long time.
– I went to Instagram and wrote: “My new club will be Manchester United”. I was so tired from the long negotiations that I didn’t think that United was still on the list. You cannot make similar statements if the matter is not completely clear. Chaos ensued. Mino Raiola (agent) wanted to kill me.
With this premature move, he directly knocked 6,000,000 euros out of Manchester’s pocket ?!
– Woodward (director of United, editor’s note) told me, you ruined the plan for the promotion worth 6,000,000 euros. They planned a surprise campaign and a promotion with special effects “a la Hollywood”. And I ruined it all by posting it on social media.
Ibrahimovic then had to apologize to his superiors at United and explain to them that Raiola’s agent had nothing to do with what he had done.
– It’s just my fault. Mino Raiola has nothing to do with it. I lost patience, that’s all. It seemed to me that I was standing in quicksand and I tried to do something to move forward, not thinking about the consequences. If the agreement goes wrong, then so be it, we will let it fail. I am the one who made a mistake, I apologize once again.
It seems that this book by Ibrahimovic will also be more than interesting…
