MILAN - Inter Milan striker Zlatan
Ibrahimovic would welcome a move to Barcelona, his agent said
on Friday following reports the clubs were discussing a deal.
Inter president Massimo Moratti held a budget meeting with
coach Jose Mourinho on Thursday and was later spotted dining
with Barca counterpart Joan Laporta at a hotel in the Spanish
city.
Sweden's Ibrahimovic, Serie A's top scorer last term, has
expressed his frustration at champions Inter and would like a
new challenge.
Moratti and Mourinho had previously said they expected
their inspirational forward to stay.
"I only know that if the two clubs find an agreement we
would not have trouble agreeing with Barcelona," agent Mino
Raiola told reporters.
There has also been media speculation about a possible swap
deal with European champions Barca involving striker Samuel
Eto'o.
If Ibrahimovic were to leave for Spain, it would be another
huge blow to Italy's top flight with AC Milan's Kaka on the
brink of signing for Real Madrid.
