Thiago Silva: “We will have to look hard to replace Ibrahimovic.”

Speaking to Eurosport reporters following PSG’s Coupe de France triumph, club captain Thiago Silva talked about Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s departure.

“We had a good season even if the aim was the Champions League. We did not succeed this year. To finish the season with a win against Marseille was important. Zlatan? When you lose a player like him, it is difficult. He was incredible. He scored yet another brace today. A name to replace him? It is not I who decided. We will have to look hard to get a player with the same characteristics and who is just as successful.”
