Barcelona face the prospect of sending Zlatan Ibrahimovic away on-loan next season. Sport says the cash needed to sign Ibra in a depressed market is making it impossible to shift the Swede.

Ibrahimovic is on a salary - including bonuses - of €10 million and his agent is seeking €12 million from interested clubs to leave the Nou Camp. Barca's money men also rate the striker at €54 million, which is also out of reach for interested clubs.

Barca's best chance of offloading Ibra for the coming season is to allow him to leave on-loan - with the Swede's next club picking up his €10 million tab.
