Category: <b>General</b><br><br>Inter have won the race to sign Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the demoted Italian giants have revealed.

All three of the country’s major sports papers have today insisted that an agreement between the two clubs was reached last night and the club have confirmed the whispers this morning.

Although Juventus had initially stated that the player would remain before putting a £28m price tag on his head, he’s been sold for £17.7m.

Ibrahimovic is now expected to sign a four-year contract with the San Siro giants in a deal which will see him net £3m a season.

Milan were also very keen on the player who had made it clear that he would not play in Serie B this season.

However, Inter have beaten their city rivals for the super Swede by wrapping up negotiations on Wednesday.

Owner Massimo Moratti supposedly got involved in the discussions himself with a crucial phone call which secured him the services of the international.

They made their move after primary transfer target Luca Toni surprisingly reached an agreement with Fiorentina to stay a Viola.

Ibrahimovic’s arrival, after that of Hernan Crespo this week, will now probably lead to the departure of Obafemi Martins who is wanted by Newcastle and Liverpool.

Ibrahimovic, who now follows Patrick Vieira to Inter, arrived at Juve in the summer of 2004 after an £11.5m offer was accepted by Dutch giants Ajax.<br><br>Source: Football Italia
