Zlatan Ibrahimovic Leaves Inter’s Pre-season
Filed under: Barcelona, Zlatan IbrahimovicLooks like the BP_TOW crew saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic live for his last game in an Inter Milan uniform as he’s left Jose Mourinho’s pre-season preparations to sign on the Zlatan X Barcelona - Eto’o X Inter dotted line.
Via Goal
Ibra bid farewell to Inter coach Jose Mourinho and the players today at the American training camp before boarding a flight for Sweden. From there he will travel to confirm final terms with Barcelona.
Barcelona themselves are geared up for the transfer, too, as club CEO Joan Oliver flies to Milan to iron out some final details following Inter’s admission that Eto’o is willing to join the Nerazzurri.
When these few outstanding issues are resolved, the transfer should go ahead. Monday is thought to be the date on which all loose ends will be tied up.
- Samuel Eto’o has agreed terms with Inter, but has not yet agreed payment of his loyalty bonus from Barcelona. Until this issue is resolved he will not consent to a transfer.
- Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s path to settling a formal agreement with Barcelona is thought to be without obstacles. (Italian sources state that he will take a pay cut to €9m per annum, but that this is balanced out by Spain’s having a lower tax rate than Italy.)
- FC Barcelona have already offered a fee between €45m and €52m, plus Eto’o, plus the loan of Aliaksandr Hleb, in exchange for Ibrahimovic.
- Inter have already accepted the above offer.
