Inter Milan chief Paolillo: Ibrahimovic worth same as Ronaldo

Inter Milan chief Ernesto Paolillo says Zlatan Ibrahimovic will only leave for a price greater than what Real Madrid have paid for Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Ibra is surely not worth less than Kaka and his price tag is in the region of the one paid for Ronaldo," explained Paolillo.

"It is evident and legitimate of Inter to ask for the right price, but we would be delighted if he was to stay at San Siro."

Paolillo also spoke about the Nerazzurri's future and their desire to invest in youngsters, preferably coming through their own ranks.

"In order to sort out our budget we need to invest in a new ground as well as our youth teams, which starting from this season will all be playing with the same system adopted by Jose Mourinho in order to favour their introduction to the first team," noted Paolillo.

"We are also delighted that Luis Figo has accepted our offer to be a member of the staff because his charisma will be good for us. He is well known in the FIFA and UEFA environments and will be an excellent ambassador for Inter around the world."
