Ibrahimovic has for weeks said he did not rule out a move away from Paris Saint-Germain, now that Carlo Ancelotti looks set to leave the club. The fact that Zlatan would be in Italy again, is not very likely since the Italians can not afford to recruit Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

El Mundo Deportivo says that Mourinho will take over Chelsea in the summer and, among other things, will allow Torres to leave the club despite the Spaniard made his best season so far in London. Torres has also almost exactly the same salary as Zlatan Ibrahimoc so it would be a simple affair.

The few clubs that can afford Zlatan Ibrahimovic are Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid. In addition to PSG then. Manchester City is not very likely since neither Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Helena Seger would like to live in Manchester. Real Madrid would be great for Zlatan and Helena Seger and where he would be driven by defeating Barcelona.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been surrounded by transfer rumors, but if you believe his agent Mino Raiola Zlatan Ibrahimovic will go nowhere. “He stays in PSG,” said the agent.

In last week Zlatan Ibrahimovic commented about that his future in Paris Saint-Germain is uncertain. Now there are new rumors revealing new details of a return to the Italian champions Juventus.
– A lot can happen. I was not set in Paris a year ago, but was set to go to the USA with Milan but instead Paris came into the picture, said Zlatan then.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Helena Seger does not feel comfortable in Paris – and wants to leave the French capital. A decision according to data based on security for the family and the social situation is more fitting in Italy. One example is that Zlatan and Helenas bodyguard protection was much betterin Italy than in Paris.
– Since I arrived here, it has been very stressful, people chasing me with mopeds, Zlatan said earlier in the spring in an interview with CNN.

zlatan career

To return to Italy as he often referred to as a “second home” Zlatan must be willing to fix the biggest problem for a move, the salary. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is willing to reduce his annual salary from 12 million to 6 million – a sum that touches Juventus maximum ceiling of wages.

Zlatan has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain for further two years but Paris SGs club owners are not concerned about a possible move of Zlatan. They do not believe in the idea that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will reduce his salary for social reasons, in a new club, or any club is open to pay as high a salary as in PSG.

There has also been reports that if Zlatan would leave there would be a “goodbye bonus” of between 4.5 and 6 million from Paris Saint-Germain as may be appropriate. This is paid in lieu of the more than 200 million crowns Zlatan had earned during their two remaining years of his contract. This would in practice mean that Zlatan Ibrahimovic earn almost as much as he did in PSG if Juventus offer him about 7 million in annual salary.

Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, ex-president of Juventus during Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s time in Turin, knows what it takes for a move to become a reality:
– The views of Juventus has been that they will not be able to afford Zlatan Ibrahimovic unless he lowers wages. Money is a problem in Italy, even in football clubs, said Gigli.

The champions Paris Saint-Germain faces an important summer. Recently there have been a lot of PSG transfer rumors. Several big stars have been rumored to be moving away. It is also rumored that PSG seem to have trouble getting the players to enjoy the city and the club environment. The Qatari owners want at all costs to keep superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

But Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his wife Helena Seger are unhappy in Paris and want most of all to return to Italy, according to statements in different interviews. A return to the Italian champion Juventus have emerged as the most likely option, and in Italy it is written daily on Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Helena Segers possible Juventus move.

A major obstacle on the road is Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s high wages, which Juventus in the current situation can not afford to pay. Different solutions are discussed, as higher bonus, but it seems clear that Zlatan have to cut down in pay to make the transfer a reality.

If we are to trust Mino Raiolas sharp statement there will be absolutely no move.
– There is a 0,001-percent chance that Zlatan goes to Juventus, Mino Raiola said to Tuttosport in late April.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport Zlatan Ibrahimovic earns just over 10 million Euro per year in PSG. Juventus should have announced a four-year contract with an annual salary of 6 million.

Recent data from the agent Mino Raiola says that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will remain at PSG.
– The entire project revolves around him so I think he stays, Mino Raiola says to Italian media.

Another one that wants to go back to Italy is the Argentine Ezequiel Lavezzi. The striker was first signed in PSG where over 23 million ended up in Naples. Unfortunately for the French, Ezequiel Lavezzi does not love the country so much. The agent Alejandro Mazzoni recently confirmed that an Italy move may be appropriate and according to Corriere dello Sport, Milan is very interested in signing Ezequiel Lavezzi.

Another one that is hesitant about the future is Ancelotti.
– I still hesitate. I’m not sure, says Ancelotti according to France Football. The Italian is mentioned primarily as a likely replacement for Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid. This is if Chelsea can solve Jose Mourinho’s buyout clause which according to the Guardian is at 15 million.

A player that there has been less PSG transfer rumors about is Thiago Silva. Thiago, who said he never wanted to leave Milan, is sitting on a gold rimmed contract that extends all the way to 2017. Barcelona are said to be interested, but:
– A move will be difficult to implement, and I think he finally stays in PSG, says the player’s agent Paulo Tonietto to Rac1.

David Beckham

How it will be with David Beckham people seem to disagree on. The Englishman’s contract expires in the summer, but it still seems that he stays. David Beckham has been offered a one-year deal to PSG, where the midfielder is likely to continue to donate his salary to charity.
