The overheated football transfer market is showing no sign of cooling, with Real Madrid hot on the trail of yet another exorbitantly expensive forward, Internazionale’s Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Representatives of the player met Real officials earlier this month and have also held talks with Barcelona, after Inter indicated they would be willing to sell their leading scorer.
The fee Inter are looking for is understood to be close to the world record ?0m Real Madrid agreed for Cristiano Ronaldo. Barcelona were scared off by the price tag. Florentino Perez, Real Madrid’s new president, must have taken a deep breath but has not dropped his interest — even though he has also signed Kaka for ?6m. Real are expected to sign Valencia goalscorer David Villa for ?4m this week and are chasing Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, who might cost upwards of ?0m.
Perez is budgeting for an outlay of about ?00m (?55m) this summer to build a “spectacular” team and argues much of the money can be recouped. His motto is “the most expensive things are the cheapest” because great players repay much of their huge fees through increased ticket sales and greater commercial contracts. He also plans to raise funds via player sales and is willing to offload Real’s entire Dutch contingent, which has put Premier League clubs on alert. Tottenham are interested in striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, available for ?5m, while Arjen Robben has been offered to Liverpool with Gabriel Heinze as makeweights in any deal for Alonso.
Ibrahimovic, 27, has scored 57 goals in 88 Serie A appearances for Inter but relations have cooled between the Swede and his coach, Jose Mourinho. Inter are unlikely to get ?0m for the striker who, as the best-paid player in the world until Kaka moved to Real Madrid, also has hefty wage demands, but Perez could try to tempt the Italians with a player-plus-cash deal involving the Argentinian Gonzalo Higuain. |
