“Inter” striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic may leave the Milan club. According to the publication "Calciomercato", "Inter" is ready to replace the Swede with Cameroonian Samuel Eto'o. Although this season was excellent for Ibrahimovic, as he became the team's top scorer (15 goals), his interview with the newspaper Libero, where he defended former "Juventus" leader Luciano Moggi, angered the "Inter" fans and prompted the club's management to look for a possible replacement for the Swedish legionnaire. "My agent has already started negotiations to improve the contract terms," Ibrahimovic said of the interview that caused dissatisfaction. "I hope Massimo Moratti's opinion will be important in this matter, just like when he acquired me. In 'Juventus' such things were clearer. Moggi was removed out of jealousy. When I moved to 'Inter', the first thing I suggested to Moratti was to hire Luciano. Both 'Inter' and 'Juventus' are big teams, but 'Juventus' has a friendlier atmosphere. If someone is struggling, everyone tries to help, while at 'Inter' everything is the opposite," Ibrahimovic said. (Calciomercato)
