According to the news from Sweden, Zlatan
Ibrahimovic has bought a church in Stockholm for
approximately £8.5 million.
The source Aftonbladet reports that Ibrahimovic’s
purchase appears not to be a whim, nor a wacky
investment, but a move towards settling down
somewhere once he’s concluded his football playing
career. The Telegraph adds that a house that was
once fit for the worship of a deity is evidently
somewhere Ibrahimovic could feel comfortable.
The 34-year-old says that he would prefer to live in
Stockholm when he retires.
The PSG striker said: “It is much bigger, Stockholm.
There are more options and it is easier to move. It
feels more international. The fact that I’ve lived
abroad a lot [means] I must have [an] international
sense.”
He also stressed: “For the sake of my children, I want
to live in Sweden. I want them to learn the Swedish
tradition. They have lived abroad all the time.”
Fastighetsvärlden (‘Real Estate World’) says that the
Ibra’s property is only two blocks from the
promenade, in Östermalm district of Stockholm.
The Swede was signed by PSG in 2012. He has scored
82 goals in 98 appearances for the club.
The PSG striker has also played for Malmo FF, Ajax,
Juventus, Barcelona, Inter and Milan.
For his career totally, Zlatan has scored 347 goals in
629 games.
