According to his agent Bayram Tutumlu, Swansea boss Michael Laudrup admires Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, adding that it would be easy to be "proud" of having such a talent in a squad.
The talk is further fuelling speculation that Laudrup is about to make his departure from the Liberty Stadium, as news of a rift between Laudrup and Swansea supremo Huw Jenkins over transfer policy is slowly becoming irreparable.
Laudrup has since then refuted the claims, but this did not stop Ligue 1 side PSG from targeting the Danish tactician as the new man to take over at Parc des Princes, with Real Madrid unwavering in their pursuit of current boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Laudrup’s apparent admiration of PSG’s Ibrahimovic is not helping matters, with the manager’s agent Tutumlu telling Swedish daily Expressen, "Zlatan is a monster, he’s a very strong player. I think Michael Laudrup is of the same opinion.

"You can be proud of Zlatan, he is one of the biggest players", the agent added.
Tutumlu, however, was quick to reiterate that such an admiration has nothing to do with Laudrup’s alleged move to Paris. "This [opinion] has nothing to do with whether Michael has offers from Paris."
When asked if Laudrup would soon be making his move to the French capital, Tutumlu replied: "No comment."
