Ibra's agent says he won't move

The agent of Zlatan Ibrahimovic says the player would prefer to say put with loan club AC Milan as opposed to joining Manchester City.

City boss Roberto Mancini confirmed his interest in the 29-year-old Sweden international striker after the club confirmed their place in next season's Champions League after securing at least fourth spot in the Premier League thanks to Tuesday's win against Tottenham.

However, Ibrahimovic's agent, Mino Raiola, claims the hitman would like to turn his loan move to Milan from Barcelona into a permanent arrangement this summer as he wants to help the Italian Serie A giants to European glory next term.

"Mancini has paid a great compliment to Zlatan by saying he might make the final leap to Manchester City," Raiola told Radio Radio.

"But he must not speak with me but with (Milan chief Adriano) Galliani and it won't be easy to take him away. 

"Mancini knows what it means to have Ibra in a squad but I think it's impossible that Milan will sell him.

"When Zlatan went to AC Milan I said they were getting not just a player but also a winning mentality.

"Ibrahimovic doesn't like to lose and he has brought that mentality to AC Milan.

"In football everything has a price, but Ibra is not going to go away. He wants to grow with Milan. They will have a team to compete in Europe."
