Barcelona have reportedly concluded the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter.
According to Sport, Joan Laporta, Txiki Begiristain and Raul Sanllehi met with Massimo Moratti late on Thursday and an agreement was reached around midnight.
The transfer will see the Blaugrana part with €40 million plus Samuel Eto’o and Aliaksandr Hleb, with the Belarussian joining the Nerazzurri on a loan spell.
The Barcelona-based daily believes that Inter had initially informed the Blaugrana that Ibrahimovic was keen on moving to the Camp Nou, at which point the Catalan club contacted Eto’o, who immediately gave the part-exchange deal the green light.
And when Barca’s own negotiations with Valencia for David Villa all but collapsed, Laporta promptly contacted Moratti to arrange an emergency meeting last night upon receiving a request from the head coach, Pep Guardiola, to conclude the deal as soon as possible.
It is also speculated that ‘Ibracadabra’ will take a pay-cut in order to play for ‘El Tricampeon’ – and also ensure that he does not eclipse Lionel Messi – while Eto’o has allegedly demanded €13m from the San Siro outfit for a period of five years, or €65 million in total.
I stopped reading when it said ".....Spanish Press...." in the first post...false story.
if this ever does happen,well done barca on giving real a chance of winning something.how do they think zlatan will do what eto'o does?when has zlatan worked ever?
even he floped against big teams..
yeah i honestly think zlatan his overpaid... he's a good player but with messi and henry on either side i feel eto fits better then he does!!
The deal has stalled due to Eto and his manager.
Ya but Zaltan can provide height and hedders something which Barca lack in very much....
But yes, he is no Eto.
In other news, Bayern rejected a 70 mil pound offer for Ribery.
It would be nice to see Ibrahimovic finally having a good season, but I'm not very sure it will happen.
This isn't the best move, Eto is one of the best strikers in the world, Ibrahimovic can't crack it in the UCL, I see no improvement on the side of Barcelona, although Inter should be happy with Eto, hes proven in the big games.
