Zlatan Ibrahimovic has no interest in donning the skipper's armband for Paris Saint-Germain, saying he only has a three-year contract at the Parc des Princes.

The 31-year-old striker has been in scintillating form for the French club, scoring 14 goals in all competitions while making the sports headlines for his man-of-the-match performance against England recently.
While he is currently captain of the Swedish national team, Ibrahimovic feels he is not suited to the role at PSG as he is not guaranteed to stay on when his deal runs out in 2015.
"You know what you get from me. I've been like this for many years and when a club buys me they know what they're getting," Ibrahimovic told Le Parisien.
"But the captaincy? No. The captain is one for the future, to be here for many years. I only have a three-year contract."
Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti's side returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 4-0 home triumph over Troyes, Ibrahimovic netting in the 70th and 89th minutes.
It was suggested that the win could mark the end of a crisis for the Ligue 1 outfit, having bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to Rennes with a 2-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League in midweek.
However, Ibrahimovic doesn't believe the crisis is over and insists the team play better when they are under pressure to perform.
"Is this the end of the crisis? No. It's good to be in crisis because that's when you play well," he added.
"I think it was important today after losing the last game to come back strong and send out a message to everyone. We want this."
