The Swedish striker has been linked with a move to the Primera Liga, with Barca among the clubs keen to acquire the 27-year-old's services.

However, Mourinho is optimistic Ibrahimovic, who was the leading goalscoring in Serie A with 25 goals, will stay put.

"I continue to think that Ibrahimovic will be an Inter player," said Mourinho on the club's official website, www.inter.it.

"It's a conviction of mine.

"No-one has told me anything, it's just a feeling I have."

Ibrahimovic is under contract with the Italian champions through June 2010.
