Official: "Inter" acquires Zlatan Ibrahimovic © EuroFootball.com

On Thursday, Turin officially announced that they have sold the team and the Swedish national team star forward Zlatan Ibrahimović to other Italian giants, Milan.

After being expelled to the lower Italian league "Serie B" due to a match-fixing scandal, Juventus sold their star forward for nearly 25 million euros.

The 24-year-old forward had been linked with a move to the Milan club for some time and became the second forward to join the team within a week - before that, Inter loaned Argentine Hernán Crespo from Chelsea for two years.

Zlatan Ibrahimović, who scored 23 goals in over 70 matches played for Juventus, signed a four-year contract with Inter.

The Swede became the third star to join Inter this summer after last season's scandal-tainted champions. Along with H. Crespo, earlier from Juventus arrived French national team defender Patrick Vieira.

However, the arrival of the former Ajax forward and Chelsea star is likely to mean that Inter will have to let go of one or even several forwards. The English press rushed to report that Inter might try to acquire Milan's Brazilian national team forward Adriano for 30 million pounds sterling.
