Real Madrid linked with Ibrahimovic; Inter Milan table Sanchez move
Mourinho wants Ibra
According to reports in Spain, Real Madrid manager has asked the club for a possible move for Swedish International, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Jose Mourinho wants to bolster his attacking options and Ibrahimovic could be the best possible option.
Los Blancos have missed a centre-forward this season as Gonzalo Higuain was out injured for the most part of the season, while Karim Benzema has been inconsistent. But the goalscoring responsibility was taken by Cristiano Ronaldo, as he scored 40 goals alone
in Spanish La Liga.
Mourinho, having managed the Swede at Inter Milan, would love to have the forward at Santiago Bernabeu considering his impressive goalscoring form with the Rossoneri.
AC Milan have the option to buy the striker and make the loan move permanent for 24 million pounds this summer. Should the fail, Real Madrid would be the striker’s most likely destination.
Nerazzurri want Alexis Sanchez
Inter Milan are reportedly plotting a move for Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez. President Massimo has had talks with the Udine-based club for a possible transfer if rumours are to be believed.
The Chilean’s performances for Bianconeri this season have attracted the interest from a lot of top European clubs. The winger has scored 12 goals in 27 appearances this season and his partnership with Antonio Di Natale has been lethal.
There is speculation that Moratti has offered Udinese 20 million Euros in a cash plus player offer with Joel Obi, Philippe Coutinho and Davide Santon going the other way.
Bianconeri are assessing the options as the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested in acquiring the services of the striker and they would surely want the best possible deal.
Udinese had earlier revealed on Sunday that a bid in the range of 35 million Euros had been rejected by the club, a bid most certainly from the cash rich Manchester City. Roberto Mancini is also an admirer of the winger and there could be a bidding war to
sign the player.
As things stand, Inter Milan look to be heading the race to sign Sanchez and the deal could be done in the coming weeks.
