New questions have been raised as to how far Zlatan
Ibrahimovic's career at Barcelona will be preserved as
Sport.es claims he has offered his services to
Milan.
Despite denials from Ibrahimovic, Pep Guardiola and Milan over a
transfer, the Catalan press report his agent Mino Raiola has been
in secret contact with Rossoneri president Silvio Berlusconi, who
just two weeks ago said he would not be afraid to land a mega
star.
Ibrahimovic is said to be fearing the emergence of David Villa at
Camp Nou and feels it would be hard to reconcile his relationship
with a starting role, despite guarantees from his coach that he is
not leaving.
The lure of joining Milan, who are set to fight for the Scudetto
and Champions League, and playing against former team Inter,
appeals to the Sweden striker.
Raiola has been addressing the questions at issue with Berlusconi
and much of those relate to finances.
Milan CEO Adriano Galliani last month said 'Ibra' was "too
expensive" and "earned too much" after he learned the player
commands a €10 million per annum wage deal.
But the constant change of moods and behavior, as well as
Ibrahimovic's long association with Serie A, could see the
bureaucratic wheels turning.
Both clubs are aware further negotiations are delicate, but
restoration work towards smooth talks could lift the move off the
ground.
