Mourinho confident Ibrahimovic will stay put

June 12, 2009

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho believes Barcelona's top target Zlatan Ibrahimovic will remain at the San Siro this summer.

The Swedish striker has been linked with a move to the Primera Liga, with Barca among the clubs keen to acquire the 27-year-old's services.

However, Mourinho is optimistic Ibrahimovic, who was the leading goalscoring in Serie A with 25 goals, will stay put.

"I continue to think that Ibrahimovic will be an Inter player," said Mourinho on the club's official website. "It's a conviction of mine. No-one has told me anything, it's just a feeling I have."

Ibrahimovic is under contract with the Italian champions through June 2010.
