Ligue 1 is nothing without Ibrahimovic – Agent

Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent, Mino Raiola has claimed that Ligue 1 is “nothing” without the player.

The Swedish striker joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2012 from AC Milan and is now the club’s all-time leading scorer in Ligue 1 and in continental competitions.

After he joined the Paris team, they have won the past three consecutive league titles and already 17 points clear at the top this season.

In an interview with RMC, Raiola described Ibrahimovic as a “gift” to French football.

“The French league without Zlatan is nothing. PSG gave French football a gift with Zlatan,” he said.

“When he chose Paris, it was a difficult choice. Everyone talks about [Cristiano] Ronaldo or [Lionel] Messi today. But they forget one thing: Zlatan has put Paris on the footballing map.

“The French have to get used to players of a high level. With Zlatan, they’ve learnt after three years. PSG without Zlatan is like Formula One without Ferrari. It’s like champagne without bubbles.

“Zlatan will surprise us again in the coming months. He’s a champion, he’s always at the top.”
