Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti hopes they can convince Zlatan Ibrahimovic to carry on next season. With Barcelona and Real Madrid circling, Moratti declared: "We need to understand his character, to accept his way of doing things that sometimes can create problems.

"I admire him as a player and as a person, because he is a serious professional. I hope he has the desire to continue to stay with us, because we have an important project."
