da supremo： Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent Mino Raiola has hinted in an interview with Italian radio station CRC that his client could leave Manchester United to join Napoli.
da bet nacional： What’s the story?
The outspoken Swede arrived at Old Trafford last summer on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
The forward penned a one-year contract with an option of a further year, and earlier in the season manager Jose Mourinho told the media that Ibrahimovic will stay for the 2017-18 campaign.
Now, though, the player’s representative Raiola has stirred the pot by suggesting that a move to Naples could be on the cards.
Ibrahimovic spent seven years of his career in Italy, playing for Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan.

While speaking to CRC, the football agent said:
“He knows what the love of the Neapolitans means and that passion has always attracted him. I know that [Napoli president Aurelio] De Laurentiis knows him, and with Zlatan you never know what could happen.”
Would Ibrahimovic leave in the summer?
At the moment, it would be a strange choice for the striker to leave Old Trafford because he has been influential this season.
He has scored 14 goals in 21 games, and at the age of 35, most players would be playing a bit-part role, but Ibrahimovic is very much a crucial part of Mourinho’s team.
What could prompt him to move elsewhere at the end of the season would be if United brought in a new attacking player.
Plenty of rumours are rumbling that the Red Devils will make a big-money move for Atletico Madrid ace Antoine Griezmann.
If the Frenchman does move to the Premier League giants, Ibrahimovic’s game time could be more restricted, which may prompt him to consider his future.
In addition, the striker is in the final years of his playing career and having represented eight different clubs in his career, perhaps he will wait to add one more to the list.
