France’s RMC mash a few stories from England together about Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United and tell Manchester United fans there’s no reason to be fearful, because a transfer is set to happen.
Ibrahimovic is currently on holiday in Monte Carlo, say RMC, and won’t be signing for Manchester United until he’s picked up a €5m loyalty bonus from PSG. A claimed figure which seems to rise by the week. RMC say that figure has come from The Daily Star and that Sky Sports think a transfer is very close.
Therefore, it’s got to be considered unlikely they’d hold up a deal or not pay a bonus just because a Manchester United move was announced earlier. Indeed, if the bonus does exist, it could be a wonderful opportunity for them to puff their chest out and announce they were settling it early, as a thank you to their hero.
Maybe it’s more likely that Ibrahimovic’s move is held up because of the holiday. He has a young family, has just finished Euro 2016, along with his international career, and a few days or longer without a bigger circus than normal may well be just what he wants for his family.
Once a Manchester United transfer is announced, everything changes.
