saying the Real Madrid attacker is
the greatest in the game and
believes it is normal for PSG to be
linked to him
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has branded Cristiano
Ronaldo one of the best players in the
world, but stopped short of suggesting he
is the game's finest footballer.
Paris Saint-Germain have repeatedly been
linked with a move for the Real Madrid
forward, whose contract at the Santiago
Bernabeu runs out in just under two
years' time.
And ahead of a friendly between the
European giants on Saturday, the 31-year-
old claimed it makes sense for a top club
like les Parisiens to be associated with the
former Manchester United man, who he
categorises as among the greatest in the
game.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best
players in the world," he told reporters on
Friday at a PSG press conference.
"The fact that he is often linked to PSG,
this is normal, because the project of the
club is to become the best in Europe and
therefore attract the best players."
When the translator for the press
mistakenly said Ibrahimovic had called
Ronaldo "the best in the world", the
former AC Milan and Barcelona forward
added in English: "No, he's one of the
best - not the best."
The clash between the Blancos and PSG
kicks off at 20:00CET on Saturday.
