Agent Mino Raiola has categorically ruled out a move for his client Zlatan Ibrahimovic away from Barcelona this summer.

AC Milan have recently been linked with a swoop for the Sweden striker, but Raiola insists that Ibrahimovic is staying put at the Camp Nou.

He told Sky Italia: "It starts and ends here. Zlatan is staying at Barcelona, the club with whom he has a four-year contract.

"There aren't talks with any other clubs. Jose Mourinho respects him, Carlo Ancelotti respects him, even clubs in Germany respect him, but Ibra is staying at Barca."

Milan's sporting director, Ariedo Braida, had earlier told Spanish TV channel RAC-1: "It's not easy to sign Ibrahimovic, but it is possible.

"It doesn't just depend on us, as it also depends on Barcelona and the player.

"The problem is that Milan have three, four or five forwards for two or three places. In order to sign a new striker, we'd have to sell one."
