Swedish star heading out of Spain?
In the summer transfer window, it needs one big move to take place to start a cycle that sees a lot of players moving in major deals. Barcelona have kicked it all off early by signing David Villa and this is sure to have repercussions for the existing forwards at the Camp Nou.
Most under threat will be Zlatan Ibrahomivic who despite notching over twenty goals, including a winner against Real Madrid, has not become a fan favourite. Although the silky style of Barcelona is evident, the team works extremely hard and at times, youngsters like Bojan or Pedro offer a bit more than the Swedish striker.
This means he may be on his way out of Spain after just one season. After having played for Juventus and Inter Milan, a move to England may be the preferred option for the striker and Chelsea showed an interest in him last season.
Carlo Ancelotti knows all about the forward from the Milan derbies and time in Serie A and perhaps sees him as a foil to Didider Drogba. Chelsea are still in contract talks with Anelka and it may be that the arrival of Ibrahimovic lessens the need to keep the Frenchman.
Various newspaper reports are also citing the fact that Roman Abramovic is looking to make a marquee signing this summer and of course, the Champions League remains on his wish-list.
Newspapers are also linking Manchester United with an interest in the player but we just cant see it. Ibra doesn’t strike us as the type of player that Alex Ferguson would utilise, especially not after the flop of Dimitar Berbatov. You can also throw in the financial problems that United have.
Manchester City of course would be an entirely different matter, the money would be no issue but would Ibrahimovic settle for Europa League action?
Where do you think Zlatan will be playing next summer?
