Sources in Spain are confirming that Barcelona is in Milan negotiating for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. One source in particular, Sport.es,is reporting that Ibrahimovic has been signed by Barcelona. The transfer is around the 40-45 million Euros, plus Samuel Eto'o and the loan on Alexander Hleb. The transfers in total is said to be around the 85-90 million Euros in total! (Eto'o 35 million plus Helb's salary of 7.5 million).
This is a great deal for Barcelona as they sign one of the top 3 strikers in the world, who is much better than Eto'o, and get rid of a supposed trouble maker in Eto'o. This should help them stay toe-to-toe with Real Madrid's signings and in my opinion, keep the psychological advantage over their rivals.
This could turn out to be a more potent 1-2 punch (Ibra-Messi) than Madrid's 1-2 (C. Ronaldo-Kaka). Not to mention Iniesta, Xavi, D. Alves, Henry, Puyol, Pique, and even recently signed Maxwell, who will be an upgrade to Abidal.
Inter's owner, Massimo Moratti, is denying that an agreement has been reached, but if this deal goes through, there is no doubt Barcelona will be the team to beat in all of Europe, and will be even harder to beat, even though I would like Kaka to become the best player in the world again and absolutely dominate in Real Madrid.
