MILAN, Italy (AP) -Juventus rebuffed an offer by Inter Milan for striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, saying it was too low, the Italian news agency ANSA reported Tuesday.

"It would annoy me to let him go for the wrong price because Juve has to be able to look after its interests,'' Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli said, according to ANSA.







Financial details of the offer were not disclosed but media reports have valued Ibrahimovic at ?40 million (US$51 million).

Cobolli Gigli said earlier Tuesday that the Turin powerhouse was in discussion with a number of clubs - including AC Milan - regarding the sale of the Sweden forward, but maintained hopes of hanging on to the player.

Ibrahimovic last week threatened to take legal action to secure his release from demoted Juventus, saying that he had no intention of playing in Serie B.

Juventus was stripped of its last two Serie A titles, relegated to Serie B and docked points for next season by a sports tribunal last month for its role in a match-fixing scandal.

The sanctions sparked an exodus of players, including Gianluca Zambrotta, Lilian Thuram, Emerson, Fabio Cannavaro and Patrick Vieira.

Zambrotta and Thuram moved to FC Barcelona, while Emerson and Cannavaro joined former Juventus coach Fabio Capello at Real Madrid. Vieira transferred to Inter Milan.

Ibrahimovic signed for Juventus in 2004 from Ajax. He has two years left on his contract.

Juventus is also set to offer France striker David Trezeguet - another Inter target - a salary increase to keep him in Turin, according to reports.

i don't know who is the more stupid; Inter for even offering 23 mill or we that we don't accept it ;) There's no way i would suggest to make any attempt to hold him. not after he clearly expressed NOT WANTING TO PLAY. what more proof do you want juventini? Even if i agree completely that he is overrated at the moment i foresee some games where we will regret letting him go. But nevertheless, get rid ibra; and buy a real kick ass forward instead (or "strenghten the arguments" for trez to stay :) )
