Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Monday joked that the Eiffel Tower would need to be replaced with his statue to keep him at Paris Saint-Germain.

Now the iconic tower has responded to football's iconic tower, proclaiming: "I am the tower" in a tweet that appears to be sending a subtle message to the Swedish star. 

Ibrahimovic is not expected to stay in Paris beyond the end of the season after firing PSG to a fourth successive Ligue 1 title via a 9-0 demolition of Troyes on Monday (AEDT).

Speaking post-match, the 34 year-old jokingly claimed he would stay in the French capital if the Eiffel Tower was altered for his statue.

Ibrahimovic's comments drew a response from the Eiffel Tower's official Twitter account, reminding the Sweden international there is only room for one landmark in Paris.

"I like your humor @Ibra_officiel @PSG_inside and the view of @Paris is as equally as beautiful from here…But I am the Tower," the Eiffel Tower posted.

Since arriving from Milan in 2012, Ibrahimovic - who is reportedly weighing up a move to the Premier League - has scored more than 100 Ligue 1 goals for PSG. Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, has netted 27 goals in the league this season.
