Ibrahimovic is a player who is known for his big money moves but on September 30 his agent Mino Raiola has shared a great fact that shows the world that Ibrahimovic is loyal to quality and not quantity in terms of money. How many players would follow Ibrahimovic’s quest for more although he has won all there is to win except the UEFA Champions League?

At the end of the 2015/16 season, Ibrahimovic had many offers from Europe’s elite clubs but patiently waited to represent his country at the UEFA Euro 2016 before finally making a decision to wear the Manchester United shirt when clubs from the Far East were chasing for his signature as confirmed by super-agent Mino Raiola.

In modern day many footballers vouch for money and nothing else. The Arab League, Indian League, Chinese Super League and the coveted Major League Soccer were supposed to provide a safe haven for footballers to retire gracefully from the game after winning all there is to win in the game. 

Go into the Chinese Super League and you would find top notch players whose values where far better than most of the players signed into the top five leagues in the world.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has demonstrated that no matter what happens the money would always come good but as a footballer you have a quest to entertain people and to make something out of your career but settling for quality instead of quantity is another way which keeps you fit and earn you a much better deal when you retire.

Whether small or a big money move, success goes hand in hand with beauty because beyond all things success is determined and measured by the person whose objectives have been met.

The careers of many footballers and especially their national team appearances have been on the low because at their ages they need quality but the leagues they ply their trades do not give them that opportunity.

Ibrahimovic might be tagged as an arrogant person or his quest as being the best player but he has done something in settling for quality and this is something up and coming footballers should learn because at the end there is only one Ibrahimovic.
