Asked about the transfer of Inter Milan forward and Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic (27) to Barcelona, the player's agent Mino Raiola is quoted by Spanish news agency EFE as saying that the whole operation is still not closed:"We still have to finalize the negotiations with Barcelona and that certainly won't happen today. But both parties are willing to reach an agreement.
The contract of Ibrahimovic with Barcelona will be quite complicated, but we'll find solutions for that. We're working in a calm climate without any fights.
I don't think we can talk about a swap deal. The president of Barcelona has said several times that they would have tried everything to sign Ibrahimovic even if Eto'o wouldn't have gone to Inter."

yuti Said,
This guy has written "greed" all over him. "Quite complicated", sure, exit bonus, signing bonus, secret bonus, must not be easy... And he cashes 10-20% from every bonus.
I have a feeling we're gonna be totally ripped in this deal, both regarding transfer fee as regarding Zlatan's salary. He's in Barcelona now, the pictures before the logo have been made, the press conference has been announced, so we basically can't go back anymore and they hold all the cards. Like Eto'o was holding all the cards before. *Big, big sigh*
Said that: he seems to wear a similar outfit to the one Henry was wearing when he was presented...

Bogman Said,
Raiola really is a snake...I'm so tiered of his sneaky methods. He has covinced Ibra to force his way out of two clubs (Ajax and Juve) by beeing a complete asshole, if you pardon my french. And now the deal "is very complicated". This guy should be banned from the scene of football for life! But it is not only Barca who can't go back now. Ibra could never return to Inter after these pictures and the statements he has made. So i think the contract whith him is done already. Otherwise it would never have been so public at this point. I only hope everything goes down smooth and without disturbing the salary-hierarchy in the squad. Messi must be our number one!

drewman Said,
La Gazzetta said that Inter is happy to get rid of him because he had a contract that was going up year by year and which would make him see earning 18 (eighteen) millions in his last year (2012-2013).

La Gazzetta has no credibility whatsoever....
they just make up stories to sell papers...I doubt there is ANY newspaper outthere with more bull$hit than La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

drewman Said,
Huh? La Gazzetta has the best reputation in Italy. Better than the Spanish papers too. I think only L'Equipe from France has a better reputation. And I'm just putting it up for what its worth, not as a fact.
