The paths of "Juventus" and Zlatan Ibrahimović could cross again.
Both French and Italian newspapers are writing about the desire of the "Paris Saint-Germain" team's attacking leader to return to Italy.
It is no secret that the agent of the Swedish national team player, who has a good relationship with the "Juventus" club, Mino Raiola, has started talking about a possible move.
"It is obvious that the 'bianconeri' team needs a top-class player. I think that at the moment Zlatan can provide the most guarantees," - the agent's words are quoted by "La Gazzetta dello Sport".
Last summer, the collaboration between M. Raiola and "Juventus" bore fruit with the talented Paul Pogba, who was then with Manchester United, whose performances this season have delighted the football world.
The biggest obstacle to Z. Ibrahimović's move could be the huge salary of the striker, which the Italian club may not be able to pay. However, last January, with M. Raiola's efforts, Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli agreed to reduce his salary just so he could move to the "Milan" club.
It is believed that a similar scenario could occur again. The player himself does not hide his sympathies for his former club: "I don't know if Juventus is really interested in me, but if it is true, then I am extremely honored. This club is fantastic and has a very strong team where I have had the opportunity to play."
The desire to work together with Zlatan Ibrahimović was not hidden by the architect of Juventus' victories, Antonio Conte, who confessed in an interview that he would like to have the Swedish striker, considered one of the most powerful forwards on the planet, in his team.
"La Gazetta dello Sport" recently published a report stating that A. Conte had already contacted Zlatan Ibrahimović. It is said that the coach discussed the possible role of the striker in his team, which would form a powerful tandem with Fernando Llorente, the Spanish national team striker who will join Juventus this summer.
In addition, Pavel Nedvėd, who is a bridge connecting M. Raiola and the Italian club, and serves as a director at Juventus, also poured oil on the fire. It is no secret that M. Raiola, known as a "super agent," represented P. Nedvėd's interests when the Czech was a professional football player.
At the beginning of March, when asked about Zlatan Ibrahimović during a TV show, P. Nedvėd replied: "I will not hide the fact that I like Ibrahimović. He, along with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, is in my list of the top three players on the planet. Undoubtedly, Ibra would be a serious boost to our team. Who wouldn't want him?".
Zlatan Ibrahimović played for Juventus from 2004 to 2006, featured in 70 matches, and scored 23 goals.
