Chelsea Plotting €70m Plus Deco And Carvalho Swap For Inter's Ibrahimovic
The Blues are planning a gigantic bid to land Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Chelsea are planning a sensational swoop for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to The News of the World.
Apparently, the Blues are ready to offer €70 million plus Ricardo Carvalho and Deco, the Portuguese pair in whom the Nerazzurri have expressed interest.
Ibrahimovic is well aware of the London club's interest, saying, "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."
If the deal goes through, it will more than double Chelsea's record transfer fee, when they paid €34m for Andriy Shevchenko.
Chelsea would also have to match Ibrahimovic's current wages of around €12m per year, but the Swedish striker insisted that a potential move was not about money.
"Money is not the most important thing," he continued. "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, the team I am going to? Are my qualities right for the Premier League or not?"
