Deal me in: Inter Milan star Ibrahimovic reveals £60m Chelsea interest

12 July 2009 11:39
Inter Milan's Swedish international striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has claimed Chelsea want to sign him. Ibrahimovic, whose Inter coach Jose Mourinho used to be in charge at Stamford Bridge, has revealed that money will not be the main motivating factor in any move after being linked with a £60million switch to the Barclays Premier League. 'I am fully aware that Chelsea want to sign me and, of course, it is very flattering. 'They are one of the biggest teams in Europe and the Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world,' he told the News of the World. 'Money is not the most important thing, I will base my decision on what's good for me, what suits me.' 'It is about asking: will I still be able to be special in the league that I am going to, to the team that I am going to? 'Are my qualities right for the Premier League or not?' Chelsea brushed aside links to the 27-year-old frontman last month. But Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has refused to offer them any indication that the player is available to leave the San Siro, warning off rival bids. 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic is absolutely off the market,' said Moratti, in light of reported recent interest from both Chelsea and Manchester United.
