Swede joined LA Galaxy in March after 18 months in England, but insists he also had mega-money offer from Far East
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC reveals he received an offer worth £74million from a Chinese Super League side — but insisted it "wasn't enough".
The super Swede joined LA Galaxy in March, following an 18-month spell with Manchester United.
Asked by CBS whether rumours he turned down $100m (£74m) to play in China were true, he replied: "Yes.
"I had many offers but, yeah, one of the offers was China and I turned it down because I felt my destination was LA. My challenge was LA.
"And I will conquer LA. That's why I chose LA."
Pushed on how he was able to turn down such a huge amount, he casually explained: "No, money is not important."
However, smiling, he added: "A lot of money is important — and that [offer from China] is not enough."
Ibrahimovic appears to have made the correct decision in joining MLS side LA Galaxy.
He got off to an incredible start by inspiring a comeback in the derby against LA FC from 3-0 down with two goals — including a 45-yard half volley and stoppage time winner — in a 4-3 victory.
Ibra also hit the only goal in a 1-0 win against former United team-mate Bastian Schweinsteiger's Chicago Fire in April.
