Zlatan Ibrahimovic is two good for Catania as Inter march on in Serie A
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's future has been in doubt all summer and the Spanish press recently revealed that he was the subject of a mega-money bid by treble-winners Barcelona.

The 27-year-old was Capocannoniere in Serie A last year, pipping Diego Milito and Marco Di Vaio at the finish line with a cheeky goal against Atalanta.

Inter are currently on a pre-season tour in the United States and he told the press that he is not getting excited by the transfer speculation.

"I have spoken with [agent] Mino Raiola - I am calm," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sport Italia.

"I have been aware of talks going on between Barcelona and Inter, but I thought those were about Maxwell.

"If Barcelona's offer is concrete, then this becomes more interesting," he concluded.

The Blaugrana are reported to be offering €45 million plus Samuel Eto'o and the loan of Alexander Hleb in exchange for the Super Swede's services, but Barca president Joan Laporta has confirmed that Eto'o is yet to agree terms with Inter.

Laporta is confident, however, that a deal between the clubs is not far from being agreed upon. Ibrahimovic would be a major signing for Barca, who are looking to bolster their squad to fend off a renewed threat from Real Madrid.
