Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has said that he is confident Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Marco Verratti will stay at the Parc des Princes this summer.

All three players have been linked with moves away from the French capital, but the former France boss insists that they are key to his plans for the new season.

"Rumours about Ibrahimovic going will go on until the end of the summer window, just like they will for Thiago Silva," Sky Sports News quotes the 47-year-old as saying.

"I am sure [Ibrahimovic] will stay. That is what he has told me. He can complement Edinson Cavani well. Then it will be about managing egos.

"I have no doubt [Verratti] will stay. I have spoken with him and I consider him to be part of PSG this season. There are many rumours but he has a contract and I don't think he will leave Paris. I like him a lot as a player and I don't think he would want to leave."

Blanc, who resigned as Les Bleus coach after Euro 2012, was named as Carlo Ancelotti's successor last month.
