Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic can only join AC Milan if he accepts a pay cut - Ernesto Bronzetti
Bronzetti has revealed what needs to happen for Milan to sign Ibrahimovic...
By Salvatore Landolina
The notable Italian transfer expert divides his time between Real Madrid and Milan, and made clear signing the Barcelona man represents a pandoras box of obstacles for all involved.
David Villa's arrival has seen 'Ibra's' future at Camp Nou look vulnerable, despite his agent Mino Raiola saying there is no real scope to leave.
Adriano Galliani last week said the hitman would be too expensive for the Rossoneri's budget. That claim was indirectly echoed on Thursday morning when club president Silvio Berlusconi suggested too much was being spent in recent years.
Galliani also claimed Ronaldinho would "be staying at Milan," decreasing the possibilities for Ibrahimovic as reports claimed the Brazilian's exit would foster a move for the Swede.
And Bronzetti has thrown in an improbable idea - a loan deal - something which Barcelona are not keen on, and a wage reduction for the striker.
"For Milan to get Ibrahimovic he would have to cut his wages to just €4 million (£3.35m) a year, and Barcelona would have to loan him," Bronzetti wrote in his blog on Caffebronzetti.com.
With neither scenario likely, Milan would have to offer regal wages and a royal transfer fee to sign the hitman from the kings of Spain.
