Both Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to the Internazionale striker's agent.
The Sweden international has starred for Jose Mourinho's side this season, scoring 21 goals and helping to put Inter on the brink of a fourth successive Scudetto.
But the 27-year-old is understood to be keen on taking up a new challenge with a another top European club next term.
The Premier League pair are two of four clubs who would be able to offer what the striker wants - Champions League football and wages that could match his current reported £160,000-a-week deal.
"Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid are in contact with me," Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.
"They are the only teams capable of taking someone like Zlatan.
"Until proven otherwise, he will go ahead with Inter because he is under contract with the Nerazzurri club.
"If we do move, it will be to another great team. Otherwise he will stay and try to win the Scudetto and Champions League with Inter next season."

Comment 21 - 40 of 40
chelsea is the only 1 who deserve ibrahimovich .
he is the best .
u guys dont understand him.
ibrahimovich is 1 of the best player in the world .
he is better than ronaldo, messi every1
no 1 can compare him
Ibrahimovic is one of the best out and out strikers in the game, but who knows how well he'll do in the premiership.
Also considering the state of the economy, only the likes of man city or chelsea are going to offer £160,000 a week for this guy.
al those people calling for fergie to sell Berbatov after 5 months and keep tevez, give it a break. its not going to happen. berbatovs a better player and tevez is just disrespectful.
besides united don't usually buy players for such a short time period like liverpool.
Ibra for Barca
Ay kadeowns....Anelka is done.....when was the last time you watched futbol when Chelsea got f**** by Barca.....ay nice yo yeah keep Anelka.....dude did you just compared Anelka with Ibrahimovic you got problems bro.....go you tube Anelka and youtube Ibra and then come back to this website and have something to say..
I would love to see any of you play soccer as good as not just ibrahimovic but any of the players and then talk @#$% like...oh he is useless and that he would be the worst transfer ever...what the f*** you kno whats good and whats not
Zlatan is good enough for the third best league in europe but would struggle in spain or EPLhe should sighn for Bayern as he is as ego stricken as the rest oof that club.
hahaha@ #30.is ibra that bad a player?
I don't see Ibrahimovic as as good an impact sub as Tevez to be honest. Anyway, United already have Berbatov who is a very similar type of player. United are much more likely to sign Kaka and Messi.
sell anelka buy ibrahimovic.... REALLY ADY?
yeah.. lest get rid of our top scorer so we can take on some fresh meat. let him stay with inter.. we dont want him
PATOOOIE
ibrahimovic at chelsea!! thats what we want!!
i wouldn't pick him for my local village sunday morning team.....
sell anelka buy ibrahimovic
If his agent has really come out and said this then I would never want him at United (not that i do want him, i dont think hes all that great). I He's a contracted player on the verge of winning the league and adored by the inter fans and his agent is saying come and get me, you might say its nothing to do with him but im pretty sure he wants it out in the open.
Bottom line is he's a plum and if he wants to leave he should hand in a transfer request.
hope this isnt true i would prefer tevez to be signed . please stay away zlatan i will pay you myself and even throw in a cop uniform since you like dressing up as one haha
yeah comment 22, the reason Fergie wouldnt sign Ibra is because he already has a big center forward, i could see Fergie pursuing Ibra if united sold berbatov, bc as a united supporter, Ibra is definitely better than berbatov, he is more physical, faster, and has a laser for a shot. Berbatov is good but not that good, The other problem would be Ibra would have to share his ego with ronaldo and i dont know if that would go over well
To comment 23; i am interested to know just exactly what claim you have to judge Sir Alex? Please tell me; are you a highly successful football manager? or maybe you have experience from playing football at the highest level!!!! My guess is that you are just an ordinary muppet who has know idea what you are talking about..........
Ibrahimovic is 1 of de best attackin players in de world currently,but he is a bit sometimeish he plays extreamly well in de seria A,literally carryin inter on his back,den again he freezes on de lata parts of de game such as de champions league,nevertheless i wod incourage him 2 make a move 2 chelsea bcuz currently drogba is in form,but anelka likewise mostly scores against de smaller teams,correctly me if im wrong though.He is not a pertenant striker,fit enough 4 chelsea,and no im not a chelsea fan.I support barca and real.....
to comment 22 berbatov rings a bell so theres every chance utd will sign him
Ibrahimovic is a overrated,lazy footballer.Sir Alex would never even consider signing this guy,we saw him against united hes f*cking useless
