Premier League Clubs Alerted by Zlatan Availability
The
Sweden international, 33, will reportedly seek a move away from the
Parc des Princes over the summer and is thought to prefer a return to
former club AC Milan.
Arsenal
are allegedly keen on Ibrahimovic, who could cost as little as £11m due
to his waning contract situation, while both Chelsea and Liverpool are
understood to have expressed an interest.
Wenger famously missed out on Ibrahimovic in 2000, when the then 19-year-old turned down his offer of a trial.
Speaking in 2012, the player said: “Arsene
gave me the famous red and white jersey - the No. 9 shirt with
Ibrahimovic on it and I was so pleased I even posed for a picture
wearing it.
“It was a fantastic moment for me. Arsenal had a great team then and here was an Arsenal shirt made just for me.
“So then I waited for him to convince me that I should join Arsenal. But he didn't even try.
“He
never actually made me a serious offer, it was more, ‘I want to see how
good you are, what kind of player you are. Have a trial’.
“I couldn't believe it. I was like, ‘No way, Zlatan doesn't do auditions’.
PSG
are thought to be looking to the future beyond Ibrahimovic, who has a
fractured relationship with fellow striker Edinson Cavani - another
reported Arsenal target.
Ibrahimovic, who is yet to
play in England, has won league titles with every club he's been at
- including Milan, Ajax, Juventus and Barcelona - since leaving Malmo 14
years ago.

Premier League clubs are on alert after Paris Saint-Germain striker
Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided he has had enough in the French capital,
according to the Independent.
\
The
Gunners are believed to be in the market for a new centre-forward to
take them to the next level but whether manager Arsene Wenger would
fancy a player of Ibrahimovic's character remains to be seen.
“I thought ‘You either know me or you don't and if you don't know me you can't really want me’.”
