Chelsea and United 'chase Zlatan'
-
Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent has made the audacious claim that Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United are both interested in recruiting the Inter star.
Ibrahimovic has enjoyed his most prolific season to date in Serie A, scoring 21 goals in 32 games for Jose Mourinho’s side who are now on the brink of capturing their fourth successive Scudetto.
The Sweden international has been frequently linked with Real Madrid and indeed his representative, Mino Raiola, has stated that both the capital club and their great rivals Barcelona remain keen suitors of the enigmatic forward.
But it is his claim that Chelsea and United are in ‘constant’ contact that is sure to catch the eye as attention turns to the possible summer transfer plans of the Premier League elites.
“Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid are in constant contact with me,” Raiola told Aftonbladet.
“They are the only teams capable of taking someone like Zlatan.
“Until proven otherwise he will go ahead with Inter because he is under contract with the Nerazzurri club.
“If we do move it will be to another great team. Otherwise he will stay and try to win the Scudetto and Champions League with Inter next season.”
Ibrahimovic has widely been acclaimed as one of Italy’s finest players in recent seasons having joined Juventus from Ajax in 2004 and then moved onto Inter following Juve’s demotion to Serie B in 2006.
But claims of interest from Old Trafford appear somewhat farfetched given that Sir Alex Ferguson spent £30 million on Dimitar Berbatov last summer.

They've already got Berbatov, and they're similar. Zlatan does run more, but shouldn't Man U be looking for a more differentiated player?

If its man united, i rather they get Toni.. They need tall and strong players like him up front..
If its chelsea, i rather they get Benzema... -
