The Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic revealed he had been forced to leave Milan by the former club from betting football contact director Adriano Galliani. Ibra moved to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2012, but then said he did not want to leave the Rossoneri. Later this month, Ibrahimovic will release his new book `I`m Football` in which he will tell how he left Milan.
`Galiani said to me: "Do not worry, Zlatan, we will not sell you"`, says Ibra. `A few weeks later I was at home and I saw five missed calls from Mino Raiola. `All right, Leonardo, we`ll call you!`, Mino said. `Leonardo? Who Leonardo? I understood this: he was talking about Leonardo, who worked as a sports director in PSG.`
Ibra continues his story and reveals that he has refused Raiola and PSG`s suggestion:
`I said "no" to Mino. I would not answer his calls. Galiani told me he would not sell me. He then said to me: "I know, but he has already sold you." When I talked to Mino, I told him that we would be very difficult in PSG, which I received in Milan, and I wanted to tell you that I wanted too much. I wanted to use this to dissuade them, so I told Mino to share everything I wanted, and I had all my wishes, and when I finished, I told Elena (my wife) that they would never accept that, it was impossible!`
`Just 20 minutes later, Mino called me and said: "You have everything you want." Then there was no going back.`
`I told him: "All right, everything is ready. I keep my word and when I say I`m going to do something, I`ll do it"`, Ibra ended his story.
