Ibrahimovic: I have joined AC Milan to win trophies
Former Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is thrilled to make the move to AC Milan.
Ibra will complete the move today pending a medical this morning.
“When I heard Milan were interested in me, I was immediately excited. I’m happy it all went well, it’s a great move,” he said of the loan and option to buy from Barcelona for €24m.
“I came here to win, am sure we will win and I won’t leave Milan until we’ve won. I know I’m in the best team in Italy and one of the best in Europe.”
That is already a message to his former teammates at Inter, who have dominated Italian football in recent years and are fresh from a Treble-winning campaign.
“I have great memories of Inter, but this is the past. I was also a Juventus player, don’t forget. Inter won everything, so they have other things to worry about rather than me.
“Why did I kiss the Barcelona shirt when I signed the contract? They asked me to and I did it.”
Ibrahimovic had also been linked with Manchester City, where he would’ve reunited with Roberto Mancini and Mario Balotelli.
“When I heard that Milan were interested, I immediately said yes. Everything that Adriano Galliani has done in the last few days and all the players I saw convinced me.
“I spoke to President Silvio Berlusconi and Coach Massimiliano Allegri. The President gave me a warm welcome.”

Spoke like a true mercenary. $$$$ in his eyes. To be fair, Milan really bent Barca over the table on this one. Maybe Barca admins need to take some business classes. Necesitas negocios or whatever the spics say.
