Italian sports site Sportmediaset claims that Barcelona has reached a pre-agreement with Inter Milan forward and Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic (27).The deal with Barcelona would be the reason why the player's agent Mino Raiola rejected this week to start talks with Chelsea.
The main obstacle during the negotiations would have been the salary of Ibrahimovic, who currently earns 12 million euro at Inter, while Barcelona didn't want to pay more than the 8 million euro Lionel Messi is earning. The Swedish striker would in the end earn a year salary of 9 million euro plus incentives.
Barcelona has not yet contacted Inter Milan, who would be willing to talk about a transfer if the fee offered is 70 million euro°. Barcelona forward and Cameroonian international Samuel Eto'o (28) is Inter's first option to replace Ibrahimovic and could therefore be included in the deal.
Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera also claims that Barcelona and Ibrahimovic are talking. Barcelona would be the preferred option for the Swedish striker (read more here) but Inter Milan would not be willing to let him go. If a transfer would become inevitable later this summer, the Italian club would ask a transfer fee of 100 million euro°.
