Ac Milan have taken a step into reinstating themselves as a team to be feared. They have signed Barcelona cast away Zlatan Ibrahimovich who cost the Catalan side €46 million plus Samuel Eto'o is on loan for the time being with Milan having the option to buy him for €24 million.
What does this mean?
Zlatan is looked at as one of the premiere strikers in the world. A player that has size, skill, and decent pace is a rare combination. On his day, he is a handful for defenders, but sometimes has an attitude that produce lackluster performances. Barcelona spent money on David Villa (€40million) a Spaniard who stared at the world cup in South Africa. Villa will replace Ibrahimovic as the starting striker, relegating him to a substitutes role. Zlatan has made the right choice of leaving Barcelona because he could face a situation where he would slowly get shifted out of the Barcelona picture while the likes of Bojan and Pedro push for playing time. Zlatan need to now prove his worth and take advantage of a weak Serie A. The fact he is on loan does not mean he is not a definite purchase, it is due to the finiancial state of the club as they have agreed to pay his transfet fee in 3 installments over 3 years after the loan.
