Zlatan Ibrahimovic would like to finish his career at AC Milan, according to the Swede's agent.
The temperamental forward was somewhat disillusioned by the Rossoneri’s performance in their 1-0 derby defeat by Inter at the weekend, prompting fears that player might be suffering from one of his infamous 'tummy aches' and that a move away from San Siro could be on the cards.
However, Ibrahimovic’s representative, Mino Raiola, insists that nothing could be further from the truth, claiming that his client could not be happier at Milanello.
“The only upset tummy is that he has lost the derby,” the agent told Sky Sport 1. “He does not want to lose anything, let alone the derby.
“He wants to end his career with AC Milan because he is well and has a good relationship with the club."
Raiola did admit that Ibrahimovic would still like to see Carlos Tevez join him at Milan, even though the Rossoneri have seemingly ended their interest in the Manchester City forward following Alexandre Pato’s decision to reject at move to Paris Saint-Germain.
“Zlatan has always wanted strong players around him so that he can win,” Raiola explained.
“As for Pato? I did not know about his transfer. But the will of the player is decisive and so AC Milan still have a great striker.”
While Tevez could perhaps still end up joining Milan, Raiola insists that there is little hope of the Argentine’s City colleague Mario Balotelli making the switch.
"He's recovering from an injury at the moment but he is fine in Manchester and has also said so publicly,” the agent added. “Manchester is not as bad as he thought."
Ibrahimovic joined Milan on loan from Barcelona in the summer of 2010 but the deal was made permanent last year.
