Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent has insinuated that Real Madrid has expressed an interest in signing the AC Milan forward.
The Sweden international, who spent a turbulent season at Barcelona between 2009 and 2010, helped the Rossoneri win the Scudetto last season and has stated that he would like to finish his career with the club.
However, while Ibrahimovic never managed to settle during his short stint at Camp Nou, his representative, Mino Raiola, has hinted that his client would be open to a return to La Liga.
"Every day I get offers, I cannot give certainty," he said of Ibrahimovic's future during an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport. "Real Madrid would be a very interesting challenge."
Ibrahimovic has scored 15 goals in 18 appearances in Serie A so far this season and Raiola recently stated that Milan president Silvio Berlusconi values the player at 150 million euros.
