Leonardo helped engineer the arrival of Zlatan
Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain and he feels his
displays have linked the pair for good.
If Zlatan Ibrahimovic decides to depart Paris Saint-Germain at
the end of the season his history with the club will not be
undone, says former director Leonardo.
The Swede's contract at the Parc des Princes expires at the end
of this campaign and he has been linked to numerous clubs as a
result.
Two goals in the 5-1 win against Lyon further improved
Ibrahimovic's Ligue 1 scoring record for the Paris giants, taking
his total to 89.
Leonardo, who helped engineer Ibrahimovic's arrival from AC
Milan in 2012, says such history will not be forgotten quickly if
he chooses to part ways.
"Considering the rapport he created with the club, it's a decision
they will take together," Leonardo told Le Parisien.
"If he plays next season or not, it will not change the history of
PSG and Zlatan
"Given what he has achieved for almost four years, they are
linked forever."
Leonardo also offered his opinion on PSG's standing in global
football, stating there are only two clubs ahead of them.
"This is the third best team in the world, just behind Barcelona
and Bayern Munich," he added.
"Given what they have achieved in 10 or 15 years, it's normal
that they are ahead.
"But in terms of playing quality, economically, as a brand and as
a city, PSG are close behind."
