Galatasaray have not been in talks with PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic despite a report published in the Fotomaç newspaper yesterday claiming otherwise.
Raiola reportedly told Turkish sports newspaper Fotomaç: “Galatasaray want to transfer Ibrahimovic everybody involved in this line of business knows this but there is nothing official as of yet.”
The agent of Ibrahimovic denied speaking to any Turkish journalists regarding a potential transfer to Galatasaray via his official Twitter account.

Galatasaray have been closely linked with Ibrahimovic over the summer transfer window and speculation regarding a move for the Swedish international keep surfacing despite the club president Dursun Özbek also recently denying talks.
The Lions are looking to make a marquee signing this summer after their rivals Fenerbahce landed both Luis Nani and Robin van Persie.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal is also keen on signing the 33-year-old according to the Express newspaper.
Galatasaray won the Süper Lig title for a record 20th time last season and booked place in the Champions League group stages for the fourth consecutive season.
