Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has confirmed talks with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
A cousin of the released Manchester United striker revealed this week that Atletico had sounded out the Swede about a move to Madrid.
And Cerezo confirmed as much yesterday, revealing: "Maybe we talked to his family, but not with him.
"We're on another line."
Ibrahimovic is currently recovering from knee surgery and is continuing his rehab at United's Carrington complex.
