Barcelona midfielder Alex Hleb's proposed move to Inter Milan is at a stalemate.

Hleb was expected to join Samuel Eto'o at Inter as part of the swap which took Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Nou Camp.

"At this moment, we are not optimistic," said agent Maurizio Gaudino. "To date the arrival of Hleb to Inter does not exist, because we cannot find an agreement with Barcelona.

"I confirm, with Inter everything is okay. But there is a problem with Barcelona."
