Manchester City prepare to make £40 million bid for Barcelona ace

It seems as though Manchester City’s summer spending is set to continue as the world’s richest club get ready to make a £40 million bid for Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish international has been strongly linked with a move away from the Spanish giants following the arrival of David Villa at the Camp Nou towards the end of May.

Chelsea are also understood to be interested in the 28-year old striker but with City the only club prepared to offer £40 million and indeed match Ibrahimovic’s wage demands, a move to Eastlands seems the most likely option.

Roberto Mancini has already added Yaya Toure, David Silva and Jerome Boateng to his squad over the past few weeks and if you believe what you read in the papers, Ibrahimovic could be the next to arrive.

Much has been made of Ibrahimovic’s “lazy” style of play but to be honest, I still think he is a magnificent striker. There is absoloutley no denying that Ibrahimovic scores goals and I for one reckon he would be a superb addition to the City squad.
