Ibrahimovic not for Barca

Rumours have surfaced that Zlatan Ibrahimovic was the subject of strong interest from Barcelona before the Catalan club decided on signing Thierry Henry. Inter president Massimo Moratti was quick to shut the door on the prospect of losing Ibrahimovic.

Gazzetta dello Sport says Barca made their approach two weeks ago before they had chosen to intensify their negotiations for Arsenal ace Thierry Henry.

Aware that Ibrahimovic was unhappy after Inter refused to meet demands to improve his existing contract, Barcelona made a formal approach to Inter about taking the big Swede to Spain this summer.
