Zlatan IbrahimovicBarcelona reached an initial agreement with Inter Milan to sign striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a deal that could also send striker Samuel Eto'o and midfielder Aleksandr Hleb to the Italian champions.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta said "there is an agreement in principle with Inter Milan.''
On Thursday, Spanish news reports said a $56 million deal for the Sweden striker had been completed.
The Catalan club, however, said it was still negotiating with Inter with the deal dependent on Ibrahimovic and Eto'o, so other options, such as Valencia striker David Villa, had not been discarded.
"Ibrahimovic's signing depends on the player himself, on Samuel Eto'o and all the parties involved,'' said Laporta, who added that he had been personally discussing the matter with Eto'o."David Villa as an option is not finished. We haven't discarded any possibilities.''
Ibrahimovic appeared prepared to accept the move after writing "time to learn Spanish'' on his Twitter page.
Inter president Massimo Moratti said that the impromptu meeting with Laporta and Barcelona sporting director Txiki Beguiristain on Thursday was originally intended to tie up left back Maxwell's $6.4 million transfer to Barcelona and complete Hleb's move, which is expected to be a season-long loan deal by aljazeera.net/english
