Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic could reportedly still be headed out of Camp Nou.

The forward had a relatively good season on paper in his first year in a Barca shirt, making 41 appearances and bagging 20 goals in the process.

However, the 28-year-old has still been in the critics' line of fire, and had consequently been touted to make a move away from the Catalan club — despite coach Pep Guardiola recently made it clear that he views the Swede as an important part of his plans for the upcoming season.

Now, however, Spanish tabloid El Mundo Deportivo has reported that the former Inter striker would like to make a move to AC Milan, while Manchester City are the most likely to snap him up if a move is on the cards.

It has been speculated that manager Roberto Mancini could look in the direction of the ex-Ajax hitman, should the potential transfer of Inter starlet Mario Balotelli fall through.
