Stockholm: Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic suggested there could be some bombshell news on his future club on Thursday, the same day he launches his sportswear line. “It’s going to be the bomb of the summer, there will be many things going on that day,” said Ibrahimovic, who is leaving Paris Saint Germain as a free agent and who is widely tipped to join Jose Mourinho at Manchester United.
Asked directly if this was the case the giant striker said: “Come along on the seventh.” Having scored 48 goals in 50 games at PSG this season, the 34-year-old led Sweden to a 3-0 win over Wales on Sunday in their last Euro 2016 warm up game.
He previously played for a string of European giants such as Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona and Ajax.

Yusupov forced to borrow kit after late Russia call-up
Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder Artur Yusupov has been called up to Russia’s Euro 2016 squad to replace Igor Denisov who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
The 32-year-old Dynamo Moscow midfielder, who has 54 caps, damaged a hamstring during Russia’s 1-1 draw with Serbia in a friendly on Sunday in Monaco.
Yusupov, who won the first of his two caps in November 2015, did not have a long journey to join up with the squad as he had been staying in the same Monaco hotel on holiday. “This is just the way it happened. After being on holiday for 14 days, of course I am going to be a bit out of shape,” the 26-year-old said.
“I don’t really know what sort of physical condition I will be in.”
Yusupov took part in Russia’s first training session in Paris after the squad flew to the French capital late on Sunday. “I was supposed to fly back to Moscow today,” Yusupov said.”I didn’t even have my football boots with me and none of the clothes that I needed.” Russia play in Group B at Euro 2016, where they will face England, Slovakia and Wales. They open their campaign against England on Saturday.

Makelele leaves Monaco post
Former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Claude Makelele has left Monaco just five months after joining as technical director, the French club said. Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev admitted they had struggled to fit the one-time midfielder into the club’s structure since Makelele arrived in January.
“He had the honesty to open up to me about this and we decided together to end the collaboration on good terms,” Vasilyev said. Makelele, who had a brief spell coaching at Bastia in 2014, added: “I thank the club and Vadim Vasilyev for the confidence they have shown in me.”

Evergreen Evra gets extra time at Juventus
Tireless France international left-back Patrice Evra has signed a one-season contract extension until June 2017 with a further one-year option clause included, the Italian champions said yesterday. “For Pat this is the path to further success to add to the conquest of two league titles, as many Cups and an Italian Supercup,” a Juventus statement said.
Juventus explained that the former Manchester United stalwart’s class, experience and charisma were a huge boon for the club. The 35-year-old former France captain has a reputation as an inspirational leader with a sense of both duty and fun.
He joined Juventus from Manchester United in 2014 and has played 69 times for them since. At Euro 2016 Evra will also be a first choice starter as manager Didier Deschamps is the latest in a series of France coaches to put their trust in him.
