Milan propose an exchange of loans, albeit with Barcelona paying 50 per cent of Ibrahimovic's wages.

Mediaset
Carlo Pellegatti reports that Ibrahimovic and Milan have reached an agreement and has also explained the nature of the contract that has been made

Corriere dello Sport
Ibrahimovic details of the operation had already been largely defined during the dinner held Sunday night at the restaurant Il Convivio
Galliani has already solved the problem by convincing Borriello to accept the loan to Barca

Galliani plans to hold talks with Barcelona after Wednesday's Gamper Trophy at the Camp Nou.

Thank you for the update. So, I hope this is true. It is also not bad for Borri since Barca is not smaller than Milan even bigger (current condition) and Barca has few strikers available which means he has big chance to play, at least as substitute (well substitute in Barca is also not bad right? ).

Ibra+Pato with Hunter as backup are really nice attacking departments! Dream, dream, dream!

I mean unlike our GM and President, they actually need the support of fans-vote.

Because they just bought David Villa.

Better question is how can Milan afford a 70mill player ?

They can't,so uncle fester is once again being creative.

Yeh i've had a dig around the Italian sites and can't find out much about him.But being 22yrs old he'll go into our first team not youth,so we'll get to see him sooner or later.

It doesn't say anywhere if he has had u21 or u19 international caps.But who knows could be a late bloomer.

Yeah, good that he is already 22 which should hopefully means that he already has played many games with senior team in his previous club (if the news is true). Any decent fresh blood is welcome for our fullbacks or midfield.

Point I am trying to make is that this is all too good to be true. A loan for Ibra while Barcelona is paying half his wages. A lot of teams can afford that. And I doubt Ibra's love for Milan is making him choose Milan.

Just don't want to bring my hopes up for something that is just a big fat lie.

Btw, since when did Uncle Fester did transfer in public like this, back then he did them in silence.

Milan should have kept Mattioni.

hi guys, long tome no see.


Well, i must say that this is the strangest mercato i have ever seen.

First the Genoa situation. What the hell is heppening here? They bought Boateng for us, sold Sokratis and Amelia to us. These players could be very usefull to Genoa. Frankly, it stinks. Preziosi and Berlu are doing something here. I would like to know what. preziosi's explanation of Boateng's loan was total bullsh!t.

Now the whole Ibra situation. In my opinion there in no chance in earth that Ibra will wear our jersey this season. If they loan him to us, than there must be something for the authorities to check in this transfer. But it's probably Berlu's trick again.

We need midfielders and fullbacks. That's the only thing we need. During the juve game Bonera was sooooo bad at RB, it was scary. his crosses are worst than Oddo's and in defence he was worst than Abate and that's saying a lot. Gattuso was terrible also. Pirlo is sooo slow and predictable. Seedorf is selfish. We should abandon this Ibra mascarade and buy MC and RB or LB.

It's just sooo depressing to watch this milan play and conduct bussines.

And one more thing. Ronnie wasn't that good against Juve. You guys are acting like he was soo f*cking great. He was better than last year, but....still slow and likes to "take defenders" by crashing into them.

And Pippo? F*ck man. That old man should just go home. And take Seedorf with him. And Pirlo.

Sorry about the tone of the post, i just had to let some steam out.

FORZA MILAN!!!!

are we? Who are our leftbacks? Just remind me.

I agree. I also think that they didn't have fair chances. Ok, they were probably not good but we also know that Carlo Ancelotti is reluctant to play young players. Same with the Uruguayan midfielder (not the forward).

El Fre, you were so positive until your last two words

Yeah man, you're right...

Mattioni was injured most of the time he was here. And check out his latest condition here. Do you guys still want him?

About Cardaccio and Viudez, I still believe they're not the quality players for us. I mean, honestly, what can you expect nowadays for unknown players whose prices are 1,5 and 0,5 millions respectively?


Gorky rarely got chances during Carletto's reign but despite a dip in form last year he did show what he can do with Bordeaux. If it's because of Carletto's lack of faith in Cardaccio and Viudez, then where are they playing now? At least Mattioni is still mentioned on goal.com

How will Barcelona play this season ?
Still the 4-3-3 I presume ? So in this position, for Barcelona, it's better to have Borriello (who likes being the only striker forward, he showed it last year and in Genoa) than Ibrahimovic who will probably do better with someone like Pato turning around him.

IMO:

Ronaldinho
Pato - Ibrahimovic

is better than

Ronaldinho
Pato - Borriello

And

Messi - Pedro
Borriello

is better than

Messi - Pedro
Ibrahimovic

(anyway, Villa will be their #1 striker, no matter who stays or arrives in Barcelona, whereas for us, if Ibrahimovic comes, he will be a sure starter)

According to Mediaset

In case of successful negotiations, Friday will be the day of Zlatan Ibrahimovic Rossonero, with the presentation in a hotel in Milan or Milanello.

If the agreement will not be immediately reached at the "Gamper", Thursday and Friday are good days for further negotiation on the occasion of the draws in the Champions League and European League in Monaco.

Imagine Milan getting Ibra for 30mil, since that's the amount they planned to spend but have not yet on Ibra. Then Barcelona getting Jucilei, And Robinho or just Dzeko......that would be funny.

Why would be funny? Actually Ibra's price at 30 mil is already cheap enough but what makes a bit unnecessary is that Milan don't have money for transfers and yet spending 30 mil for a pretty old player. I don't think Milan lose something if they sign Ibra for 30 mil and Barca sign Juiclei+Robinho or Dzeko (should be more than 30 mil IMO if Barca buy him), as I said, 30 mil is cheap price for a player Ibra's calibre.
