LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says former AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani forced him out of the club.

The Swedish striker joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2012, but has made it clear he never wanted to leave the Rossoneri.

“Galliani told me: 'don't worry Zlatan, we won't sell you'," Ibrahimovic recalls in his new book, 'I am football'.

“A few weeks later I was at my house in Vaxholm, I'd just been out jet skiing when I saw I had five missed calls from Mino [Raiola, his agent].

“'OK, Leonardo will call you' Mino said. Leonardo? Leonardo who? Then suddenly I realised: he was talking about Leonardo, the PSG sporting director.

“I said to Mino: 'I won't answer his call, Galliani confirmed to me that he won't sell me'. Then Mino simply told me: 'I know, but they've sold you already'.

“When I spoke to Mino that summer I told him we'd make it difficult for PSG. I wanted to keep my Milan salary and I wanted them to say something like: 'dude, you're exaggerating, you're asking for too much'.

“I wanted to use that for them to pull out. So I told Mino to write down everything I wanted. I listed all my wishes and when I was finished I told Helena [his wife] that they'd never accept that, it was impossible.

“Just 20 minutes later though, Mino called me and said: 'you've got everything you asked for'. After that there was no turning back.

“I told him: 'OK, get everything ready'. I'm a man of my word, when I say I'm going to do something I do it."
