Zlatan Ibrahimovic opens talks with Chinese sides

Swedish legend Ibrahimovic has reportedly opened talks with a host of Chinese clubs regarding a mega-money transfer deal to Asia. Ibrahimovic spent last season playing for Man Utd, who decided against offering the Swede a new contract for the upcoming campaign.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has for many years been considered one of the world's most prolific strikers, has been linked with moves all over the world including the USA and China. However, it is understood that Zlatan himself prefers a move to China where he believes he can help the burgeoning domestic league.

With Chinese clubs now exposed to a 100 percent tax on foreign players, the temptation of signing a free transfer Ibrahimovic is sure to appeal to many teams.

Zlatan is believed to have decreased his demands from £250,000 per week to around £180,000 a week to accommodate a transfer to Asia.

Ibrahimovic has also been linked with a surprise return move to AC Milan, but no official offer has been made just yet.
