GAUL CUSTOMER ... Ibra banked a mega deal in Paris
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVICH is now the world’s highest-paid footballer after Paris St Germain agreed to pay him £220,000-a-week — AFTER tax!
The Sweden striker, 30, sealed a £18million move to France from AC Milan.
PSG are funded by oil-rich Qataris and are desperate to do a Manchester City and buy their way to a first title since 1994.
Ibrahimovich said: “It’s true I don’t know that much about Ligue 1 — but Ligue 1 knows who I am!”
French president Francois Hollande intends to impose a 75 per cent tax rate on anyone earning more than a £784k a year. But Zlat’s agent Mino Raoila wangled a deal that gets him paid at least £9.4million a year — even after the Government’s cut.
That rises to £11.4m- a-year if bonus targets are met — meaning a whopping £220,000 straight into his account.
Ibrahimovic said: “PSG made something impossible possible. Another dream came true.”
