PSG on verge of first Ligue 1 title in 19 years

Victory for the wealthy Qatari-owned club would keep them at least nine points clear with just four games to play.

PSG also have a massive goal-difference advantage over second-placed Olympique Marseille, who travel to Lorient on Saturday, and third-placed Olympique Lyon who host Saint-Etienne on Sunday.

"I never had any intention to leave," Brazilian Leonardo told the daily newspaper L'Equipe. "Ibrahimovic will be in Paris next season as will Lavezzi and Verratti."

"We want Carlo to stay but we have to win the league title first. This is our absolute priority. Then it will be up to him to decide, to say whether he wants to continue at PSG or not," Leonardo added.

"It still rankles some of us... and it could motivate us more," midfielder Foued Kadir told the club's website.
