Milan were desperate to sign me: Ibrahimovic

Paris: Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has claimed that Italian giants AC Milan were eager to sign him but there was no offer from English Premier League (EPL) club Arsenal.

Rumours had suggested that the French champions were willing to sell Ibrahimovic this summer, with Arsenal, AC Milan, Manchester United and Inter all linked with moves.

“Milan offer was concrete from their side,” the 33-year-old was quoted as saying by goal.com on Wednesday.

“A lot of interest but I said from the beginning that I will stay with PSG. I like it, we have a good team, my family feel good and it’s just positive with Paris and PSG. But they wanted, they wanted much,” he added.

When pressed about Arsenal’s reported interest, the striker replied, “No, so the interest that existed, I have not committed myself to.”

“It is Mino Raiola (Zlatan’s agent) who takes care of the pieces. When I give notice that I want something to happen I get involved. But this summer I have been resting up, I enjoyed the holiday, but I know that Milan were a bit desperate,” Ibrahimovic said.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
