AC Milan forward, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, spoke to L'Equipe about several topics, including his career, Kylian Mbappé, Gianluigi Donnarumma and more. Here are his statements:
"Mbappé's destination? Only Kylian can answer you about where he has to go. It depends on what he wants, what he thinks. Me? I would have gone. But if I am PSG, I would try to keep him. It's him who will decide. PSG want to keep him, obviously, but does he want to stay? I also think that there are other clubs that want him: if you are a manager, and you have the means and you do not want to take Mbappe, you are in the wrong business. He asked me, yes, and I told him: 'If I were you, I would go to Real'."
He continued:
"I had the chance to play in different teams, different countries, with different champions, and that's how I learned and grew. Playing at home all your career is easier, in my opinion. Whereas if you pack your bags and go to other places, it's an adventure."
Ibrahimovic on Gianluigi Donnarumma:
"Donnarumma on the bench... I am very surprised. I know it's not easy for the coach, I don't know Navas but he's a great goalkeeper too. They have two phenomena in goal. In my world, Donnarumma is the number one today. And I don't know if it's a good thing to alternate goalkeepers, or if it's more of a favour you do to one of them. In any case, I'm used to having a goalkeeper who is number one and is always the same. And about Donnarumma there is no question: he is the best in the world, and that's that. I played with him, I know what I'm talking about."
On the idea of being PSG's sporting director...
"Becoming PSG sports director? I could also become one right away. It's me who decides, it's not them who call me: when I want to go, I go."
On his career so far:
"Normally, at 40, you're at home, you light up a cigar and you're satisfied with the career you've had... I’m not ready to smoke a cigar yet."
