Breaking news on RTE highlights show... Ibrahimoshit to AC Milan from Barcelona.

[njackets]

What is RTE? Must be good, you've done 2 threads in the space of 10 mins on it!

[RedEagle]

Even more evidence that we've dicked over on Mascherano's price.

RTE is Ireland's national broadcaster. And they are good in the sense that they can say what they want without having to pander to the authorities, or worrying about offending the sensitivities of anyone else like the BBC or any British channels have to. What they did on the Arsenal game is evidence of that.

[Trucker Paddy]

Barca taking a £30m hit on that if thats true, I thought they were loaning him for a year?

RTE is great purely for Dunphys drunking rambling. Plus Apres Match is genius. Have to agree they usually call it like it is and dont try to pander to anybodys ego or sensitivities.

 

Alot of them used to be quite unfair to us in Europe though. I remember when we beat Madrid, they tried to say it was because Madrid we're shit and didnt give us alot of credit at all.

Zlatan is on ridiculous wages... I'm surprised that AC Milan are going to try for it.

[The Chef]

Have just confirmed Raul Meireles signed this evening.

Zlatan is on ridiculous wages... I'm surprised that AC Milan are going to try for it.

 

€10M a year.

[Chocoholic]

They've also 'confirmed' that we've signed Meireles for £10.7M. I say 'confirmed' even tough they didn't use the word confirm, but stated it as a amtter of fact. I'm now allowing myself to begin to believe that it may be true.

It's on reuters now as well. Backed up by Milan exec.

Ibrahimovic loan to AC Milan agreed | FCBarcelona.cat

[Sangria]

One of those transfer most of called right and it is nice to get the odd one spot on,

 

A monumental failure for Barca and sadly I gain some sick, perverse pleasure out of that, not that it makes much difference.

[TheHitman]

I am sure the Daily Mail is writing a new Torres headline as we speak.

[Gary Mac Legend]

I am sure the Daily Mail is writing a new Torres headline as we speak.

 

haha they're getting a great deal for a huge flop. We got ripped off for our key player. That's how you negotiate.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if Barca stuck a cheeky bid in for Torres with the money they get from Milan. They've already ripped us off once this week.

[Unrighteous]

Looks like 24m euro to make the move permanent.

[PeteH]

Think he is very overrated meself.

[Dicko]

Think he is very overrated meself.

 

He is compared to the man they've replaced him with anyway.

[WrongIslander]

On the bright side that makes Torres a 1 billion pound player.

[Lee909]

He scores goals in italy,good signing for Milan but there need youth in there side.

[Guest PurpleNose]

21 goals last season, and of course, they won the league.

 

Wish we'd swapped Mascherano for him.

[Hermes]

It was on the Sky website yesterday afternoon.

[shanks96]

its a year loan and option to sign for 20 million at the end isnt it?

[Ian Sea]

Good signing for Milan, football wise; he's proven in Serie A, knows Milan and will score shit loads for them.

AC Milan have confirmed the signing of striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Barcelona on loan, with the option to buy him next summer.

 

The former Inter Milan player, who arrived at Camp Nou last summer in a big-money switch, has been heavily linked with a return to Serie A.

 

And a four-year deal worth €24million (£19.7m) has now been agreed, with Swedish frontman Ibrahimovic set to join Milan on a year-long loan before signing a permanent contract at the end of the season.

 

The 28-year-old striker is due to undergo a medical on Monday before completing the deal.

Agreement

 

"We have agreed a deal for a season's loan and then the right to buy for €24m," said Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani.

 

"He will undergo a medical on Monday and sign a four-year contract."

 

Ibrahimovic was delighted to finally see the two clubs reach an agreement over his future.

 

"I'm really happy. Everything has been solved in a positive way," Ibrahimovic told Sky Italia. "Now I come back to the city of Milan but with another team.

 

"They are an important side and with a big tradition.

 

"The attack is fantastic. I hope to win the Champions League and everything."
