Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent, Mino Raiola, has denied that his client has been given a hefty pay rise, to make him the best-paid player in France.
A report in Le Parisien claimed that Paris Saint-Germain, had rewarded the Swedish striker with a €700,000 salary increase last month to take his monthly wage to €1.5 million before taxes.
Raiola insists that the speculations are not true and says he has not met with the Ligue 1 champions, to discuss Ibrahimovic’s contract.
“I have never given any figures in the press, but I can tell you that what’s been mentioned is entirely wrong,” Raiola told L’Equipe.
“We have not touched Zlatan’s contract. I did not go to Qatar this winter and Zlatan has never discussed his contracts with his clubs directly during the 12 years we have worked together.
“We met with the PSG hierarchy in Doha last summer and Zlatan did not ask for anything because he is happy with his existing deal.”
Ibrahimovic’s current deal will expire at the end of this season, but Raiola says no decision has been made yet.
“All I can say is that Zlatan is very happy at PSG, but only Zlatan knows what will happen,” he added.
“We have a great relationship with PSG and they know we will make a decision on his future together.”
