Manchester United is reportedly plotting a sensational swoop for outgoing Paris Saint-Germaine and Sweden superstar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
According to reports in Daily Star UK on Ffriday, Manchester United bosses
have made Ibrahimovic one of their main summer transfer targets.
Ibrahimovic is keen to end his career in the Premier League and it is understood United are willing to offer him a short-term deal worth £24m. The 34-year-old will be a free agent in June after failing to agree a new deal with Paris St-Germain.
United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward hopes to tempt Ibrahimovic with two-year deal worth a staggering £250,000-a-week. The deal on offer would make Ibrahimovic one of the highest-paid stars in English football.
“He might be getting on a bit but he can still do it at the highest level”
The respected British tabloid quoted a club source as saying: “The team needs a major injection of talent and some superstar additions.
“Zlatan fits the bill. He might be getting on a bit but he can still do it at the highest level and would be worth the risk in terms of big wages because no fee is involved.”
The tabloid reports further that news is also another strong indication that Louis van Gaal is heading for the Old Trafford exit at the end of this season. Van Gaal has clung to his job for months, despite overseeing another disappointing campaign at the helm.
But Van Gaal and Ibrahimovic have a mutual dislike for each other after falling out during their time together at Ajax in 2004. Ibrahimovic is unlikely to agree to join United if Van Gaal remains in charge, but would relish the chance to play under Jose Mourinho.
