Having acquired Carlos Bacca from Sevilla, AC Milan have now set their sights on Paris Saint-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic. A rival club, however, has entered the fray. That and other quotables highlight Milan's week in the rumor mill.
Below is all the transfer gossip surrounding the Rossoneri.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Targeted by Milan, even Zlatan Ibrahimovic is aware a decision is looming.
"I still have to decide where to end my career," Ibrahimovic told German site 11Freunde (via Football Italia). "If I were to go to Germany, it would only be for Bayern Munich, as they are one of the best clubs in the world."
According to Corriere dello Sport, however, the 33-year-old striker has been approached by Inter Milan for a potential comeback. Ibrahimovic played with Inter from 2006-09 before switching to the other side of the San Siro in 2010.
Geoffrey Kondogbia
Don't feel bad missing out on Geoffrey Kondogbia, AC Milan. You never had a chance.
"Why did I choose Inter instead of Milan? It was because I believe that Inter are closer to me," he told reporters at a press conference on Friday (via Goal). "I spoke to the coach and he convinced me that this was the best project for me. Mancini told me many things. When a coach like this calls you, you cannot say no."
"But I never said yes to Milan."
Luiz Adriano
One player that did say yes to Milan is Luiz Adriano.
Still in Porto Alegre and awaiting his time to join the club during its pre-season tour of China, the 28-year-old voiced his excitement to Calciomercato (via Football Italia).
"I can't wait to come to Milan and start training with my new teammates," Adriano said. "I am very happy to wear the Milan jersey, as it's a club of great history and tradition. It's a dream come true.
"I'm waiting for my work permit and visa to get into China and take part in the pre-season tour. I am following the training regime set by the staff, so I'll be prepared and ready to start work in the best shape."
