Paris St Germain have presented Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the striker signed a three-year-contract to seal his move from Milan.

The Sweden captain will reportedly earn 15 million euros (£11.8 m) per year, while PSG paid 23 million euros (£18m) for the 30-year-old.

Ibrahimovic said: "PSG have made the impossible possible. It's a big step in my career, another dream come true. In my mind I had no doubts.

"Milan gave me my smile back and they will stay in my heart. They made it easy for me to come to PSG and I want to thank them."

Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi announced last week that he had sold Ibrahimovic, top scorer in Serie A last season, and defender Thiago Silva to the big-spending French club who were taken over by Qatari investors last year.

Ibrahimovic, 30, will join Argentine forward Ezequiel Lavezzi, who signed for PSG earlier this month, as the club from the French capital seek to play a major role in Europe.
They finished second in Ligue 1 last term and will now play in the Champions League.
Last season, they signed Argentine playmaker Javier Pastore as well as defender Alex and midfielder Thiago Motta.

Attempts to sign David Beckham and Carlos Tevez failed, however, despite the presence of new coach Carlo Ancelotti.
