Barcelona has officially confirmed that a deal between Barcelona and Inter Milan on the transfers of Inter Milan forward and Swedish international Zlatan Ibrahimovic (27) and Barcelona forward and Cameroon international Samuel Eto'o (28) is close.

Barcelona chief executive Joan Oliver has travelled to Milan this afternoon to finalize the last details of the operation, after Inter officials had informed Barcelona that the Italian club had reached a principal agreement with the agent of Eto'o.

hawk_barca_4_life said...: lol we dont stuff up players and let the old players rot in the team

even though we payed more for zlatan it was not a single deal for us we sold etoo to a club of his choice and got a striker whom our coach and technical staff asked for
not like madrid who chase name and buy players not to make a team but to sell jersey

go and sell ur jersey's it will help to save u 4m ur dept and misery when we beat u in elclassico; 23 July 2009 at 12:42
Anonymous said...: Zlatan isn't a big aerial threat. How many goals has he scored with his head in Inter? Not many. He is big and strong, and can shield, and hold up the ball well with his strength and technique, this is an asset, in addition to fairly good shot from distance. But to break the bus, we need to focus more on our shooting from midfield and maybe free kicks, and also not play everything through the middle, and instead use the flanks more.; 23 July 2009 at 12:43

Carrer de Corsega said...: I have tried to stay entirely away from this Zlatan-Eto'o bickering of the last few days.

Now that it seems official, I just have to say that I thank Eto'o for all the positive things he has done for the club; from scoring goals to bringing African talent to the academy. I wish him the best of luck until the day he faces us. As for Ibrahimovic, he better understand the importance of the logo that will be on his chest and be willing to sacrifice for it. I wish him and our team the best of luck.; 23 July 2009 at 12:49

hawk_barca_4_life said...: ya thanks etoo for all ur service and dedication to the club and wish u win tittles with inter except champions league

welcome zlatan ibrahimovic ....forza barca forza ibra all the best and hope u socre a hatrick in elclassico and win more than trebles !!!!!!!!!; 23 July 2009 at 12:55
Anonymous said...: I hope Ibrahimovic becomes the "designated " penalty taker . None of that nonsense we had last season alternating Messi and Eto'o. Ibrahimovic is also a good free kick taker . He can help Xavi in that department . Guardiola should instruct Dani Alves NOT to take any more free kicks . It is just NOT working for him !!; 23 July 2009 at 12:56
ej said...: anon .

messi penaltys , ibra freekicks sound fair for me; 23 July 2009 at 13:00
hawk_barca_4_life said...: @ its not offical transfer yet so i belive nothing abt the fees has been anounsed yet

wht ever i dont care abt the transfer fees just make it official fast and let him join the pre season cant wait to see his first goal in barca colours!!!; 23 July 2009 at 13:00
ej said...: Please Answer :

hawk_barca_4_life said...: penalty can be take even by henry or xavi or who ever earns it 4m attacking dept

regarding free kicks close range betn xavi and ibra and long range ibra shld def be in the box to ap the ball in; 23 July 2009 at 13:04

barca4life said...: Uhm does anybody know if we can sign zlatan tmrw or do we have to wait for etoo to sign for inter?; 23 July 2009 at 13:16
Anonymous said...: When the Ferrari is on repair, it is quite embarrassing to drive around in a small Fiat. At least a BMW would be nice.; 23 July 2009 at 13:17
ej said...: That the main problem , bojan is more LW or CF , henry LW CF , IBRA CF.

i dont see pedro nor jeffren replacing messi in laliga games (somebody need to cover RW before CL Games and in case of injury); 23 July 2009 at 13:20
prathsBarca said...: @barca4life I think the club vice prez is in milan to tie things up about the deal like final transfer fees and terms. It should be done by 2m. They will present ibra on monday and it does not depend on etoo case as it is already closed. Dont go by his stupid agent's comments. check inter milans official website some good details there.; 23 July 2009 at 13:23
Anonymous said...: i think that they will pay 48m euros; 23 July 2009 at 13:25
Anonymous said...: Ibra isnt really a lone striker. He is more of a support forward. Look how he played in Inter with Cruz as the number 9.; 23 July 2009 at 13:27

Galacticos in the making, nice job Laporta. And so, the only thing that we can make fun of Madrid becomes generalissimo Franco; 23 July 2009 at 13:44

I dont think the starting XI will have alves and maxwell together. Mostly it will alternate.; 23 July 2009 at 13:55

tricampions said...: So this is it.Goodbye Eto'o,thank you for these amazing years,we won't forget you and we will miss you.Now,welcome Ibra,wish you all the best in barcelona and a lot of trophies.Anyway I hope we don't pay more than 45m because it is unacceptabe to pay more.; 23 July 2009 at 14:27
Kxevin said...: Yes, it's going to happen! More importantly, though it quashes a few debates on this board, Eto'o's agent, Mesalles, has said any rumors of Eto'o demanding more money just to leave us are "a lie."

Strong words.

Mesalles further says that they are just waiting for us to officially release Eto'o from his contract, which is why Oliver is in Milan (as well as to tie up loose ends) and off we go into a new future.

Best of luck to Eto'o, unless they are facing us in the Champions League, and thanks for all of the goals, grins and being part of a great program.; 23 July 2009 at 14:36

and besides its my dream team ...; 23 July 2009 at 15:34
Anonymous said...: That team is awful ej!

Look at this team and see how fantastic it is:

Alves - Puyol - Pique - Maxwell

Mascherano - Yaya Toure - Xavi

Messi - Ibrahimovic - Iniesta

That is a superteam, it is impossible for it to get better, it has everything, goalscoring and strength from midfield (Yaya is better in that position than Lampard and Gerrard), it has best playmaker (Xavi), the two best attackers in the world, one short and fast, one big and strong, so they complement eachother (Messi, Ibrahimovic), and the most skillful player in the world (Iniesta).

On the back, we have Mr Barcelona (Puyol), and a world class central defender (Pique) and the two best full backs in the world (Maxwell and Dani Alves), which gives the team great width for bus-breaking).

That is a Dream Team; 23 July 2009 at 16:56
Anonymous said...: It looks even better like this:

RB: Alves
CB: Puyol
CB: Pique
LB: Maxwell

DM: Mascherano
CM: Yaya Toure
AM: Xavi

RW: Messi
ST: Ibrahimovic
LW: Iniesta

Best team ever. If this team does not win 6 titles next season, there is no justice. It has everything. Two new busbreakers in Yaya's box-to-box role and Ibrahimovic, a new attacking threat down the left wing with Maxwell (or the best defensive left back in the world in Abidal if needed) and the rest of the most skillful squad in the world.
