Ibrahimovic agent hints at Spain move

Asked about the future of Inter Milan forward and Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovich (26), the player's agent Mino Raiola has said in an interview with Lombardy regional television channel Antenna 3 that the striker is the one who will decide on his future:

"The player decides what will happen. If a player wants to leave, he will. If he doesn't want, there won't be a transfer. So if Barcelona would call, the will of the player will be decisive. At this moment, he's happy and comfortable here and there are no problems. So there's no need to look for another club. Which wouldn't be difficult anyway, because only three or four clubs in the world can afford him."

Raiola also unconfirmedly hinted at a move to the Spanish league in an interview with Lombardy regional newspaper Il Giorno: "I just want to stress one thing: if Zlatan decides to go away, he will go away. Every time he has moved to another club, first from Ajax to Juve and then from Juve to Inter, he imposed his will.

This is not a warning, but I’m just saying that he can make his own decisions. Offers keep coming in for him. Real Madrid and Barcelona would do everything to sign him. Ibra would net 40 goals per season in Spain and would have more chance of winning the Ballon d’Or when he would play there."

So he is cooking a more improved contract with Inter? I think his new contract conditions are luxurious enough!
He is the best player Barcelona can't get.

He has too much "personality".

indeed to expensive.. but what a player. most creative and classy striker in the world. Doesn't score a lot of goals though.

He is good against Bologna, Siena, Livorno, etc, etc.

When the pressure gets to him he suck. He have never shown anything on international level. He rarely scores in the derbys and he have never in his whole career scored after the groupstages in Champions League.

And as someone else said, he dosn't score a lot of goals which is pretty important for a striker.

The reason why he doesnt deliver as well in the national team is because all other players in the swedish national team are exeptionally bad footballers.

Imo he would fit perfectly at barca. He would score alot more there than in inter. He is a player that is pretty dependant on posession of the ball. And do you know any other team in the world that has more posession than barca? He also has a unique eye for the game and delivers a huge amount of assists. Imagine the combinations he and Messi would produce!

He is very skillful and no doubt a great player. He is a bigger headcase than etoo though and he does have a penchant for performing his disappearing act during key games.Way too expensive for us to pay inter, the only way would possible be a player plus cash swap and unless we send etoo (which i dont think we should do) i cant see inter wanting any other player that we would give them (obviously no messi xavi iniesta on the table for any kind of deal).

Hes 27 actually. Turns 28 this year. Have probably peaked and i dont know if he fits in the spanish league. And i, who am from sweden, would have to deal with the enormous media coverage and read every day about how "zlatan zavez barzelona" and "zuper zlatan conquerz zpain"..

its bad as it is, but inter is not my team. this would bother m alot.
