Italian sports paper Il Corriere dello Sport claims that Barcelona wants to sign Inter Milan forward and Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic (27) in the summer.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta would want to sell Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o one year before his contract expires in 2010 and replace the Cameroonian by Ibrahimovic, for whom Barcelona would be willing to pay a transfer price of 60 million euro°. The fee could be fully paid in cash or by including Barcelona forward Eto'o in a deal worth another 20 million euro cash.

Barcelona would offer Ibrahimovic a five-year deal worth 7,5 million euro a year, the same as Barcelona player Lionel Messi is getting paid now. With sponsor contracts, image rights and incentives included, Ibrahimovic could possibly earn 14 million euro a year, which is two million euro more than he's currently earning with Inter.
