Ibrahimovic: I am too good for Swedish football

The Sweden international is available on a free transfer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain but he has now rubbished talk that he could return to his homeland with his first club.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has quashed fleeting speculation he could return to Malmo by claiming he is too good for Swedish domestic football.

Ibrahimovic on Monday vowed to return to play in Malmo, with many understanding his promise to mean he could make a sensational switch to his first club.

However, the 34-year-old, who is available on a free transfer following the expiry of his Paris Saint-Germain contract, has now said his only intention is to return to his home city with the national team.
