Manchester United are reportedly set to offer
Zlatan Ibrahimovic a huge £250,000-a-week contract in
order to lure him from Paris Saint-Germain to Old Trafford.
According to Jeremy Cross in the Daily Star , the Swedish
striker is set to leave Paris at the end of the season
when his contract expires, and he is one of United’s key
targets.
The club are willing to “flex their financial
muscle” and offer the 34-year-old a two-year deal worth
£24 million.
Per Cross, a United source said:
“The team needs a major
injection of talent and some
superstar additions. Zlatan fits
the bill. He might be getting on a
bit but he can still do it at the
highest level and would be worth
the risk in terms of big wages
because no fee is involved.
His availability as a free agent—and his reported
eagerness to move to the Premier League—have made
Ibrahimovic a key target for other English clubs also, and
United are hoping to beat Arsenal and Chelsea to him.
His age would usually be a concern as he is undoubtedly
drawing to the end of his career, but his goalscoring
output is still remarkable—he has netted 27 times in 25
Ligue 1 appearances this season, per WhoScored.com .
The striker himself is also clearly not ready to hang up
his boots:
