FC Paris Saint-Germain sign striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Big spending French side FC Paris Saint-Germain have signed Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Italian giants AC Milan for a transfer fee of 20 Million Euros and unveiled him in Paris at a press conference today. Ibrahimovic is set to get 14 Million Euros as salary per season.

At the press conference at Parc des Princes Ibrahimovic said, "I want to thank Paris Saint-Germain and (sporting director) Leonardo for the great work they've done!"

"I think they've made something that looked impossible, possible. I'm very happy to be sitting here. After lots of talks, I'm finally a PSG player. It's a big step in my career, another dream come true. I think this is a very interesting project and I had no doubts. In my mind I was very clear, and I knew what I wanted.

"They're bringing together the very best. Who wouldn't want to be here?" Ibrahimovic added.

30 year old Zlatan Ibrahimovic is someone who has won league titles in three different countries having played for FF Malmö, Ajax Amsterdam, Juventus Torino, Inter Milan, FC Barcelona and AC Milan.

Ibrahimovic is the fourth signing by PSG from the Italian Serie A after Argentinian Ezequiel Lavezzi from SSC Napoli for 26 Million Euros, former AC Milan team mate Thiago Silva for 42 Million Euros and young Italian Marco Verratti for 12 Million Euros from AC Pescara.

In total these four signings have cost PSG already 100 Million Euros, but with the financial backing of their investors from Qatar Sports Investment more signings look possible as they will want to challenge the best and strongest clubs in Europe. After spending more then 100 Million Euros over the last season and now again the Qatari owners will want titles from coach Carlo Ancelotti and his team.

VIDEO: Zlatan's Goal, My goal of Euro2012 so far!

I was asked yesterday for a column to name my top five goals of Euro2012 so far with the group stages over and the quarterfinals set to kick-off later today. And in my opinion there could only be one choice, Zlatan Ibrahimovic's side-volley strike against France on Tuesday night in Kyiv. A perfect hit, which once more showed what a great striker and finisher Zlatan can be.

The others who made my top five were Danny Welbeck (for England vs Sweden), Mario Balotelli (for Italy vs Ireland), Mario Gomez (for Germany vs Netherlands) and Jakub Blaszczykowski (for Poland vs Russia).

Ibrahimovic returns to Italy, on loan to AC Milan

Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has left FC Barcelona after only one season and has returned to Italy to join AC Milan on loan, city rivals of his former club Internationale Milan. As per the deal Ibrahimovic has been signed by Milan on a one year loan deal, while the Rossoneri and the player have agreed a four year contract.

The 28 year old Ibrahimovic will undergo a medical tomorrow in Milan and then sign the contract. After the initial one year loan deal Milan have the right to sign the player permanently for a fee of only 24 Million Euros. It is a cut price deal for a top class striker like Ibrahimovic who only a season ago left Inter Milan to join Barca in exchange for Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o plus 69 Million Euros.

The tall, lanky striker never seemed to fit into Pep Guardiola's system still Ibrahimovic scored 21 goals in 41 matches in all competitions, not a bad scoring rate for a top striker. Still Ibrahimovic was seen alien in Barcelona and to their system of tiki-taka football though the Swedish international is technically a sound player. Many said he could not recreate the form and magic that made him a star in the Italian Serie A with Juventus and Inter Milan. In Barcelona his signing a year ago is now seen as a big mistake.

The arrival of Ibrahimovic at AC Milan could also mean that Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could finally be leaving the Stadio Guiseppe Meazza. Huntelaar has been linked with a number of clubs in the English Premier League as well as some German Bundesliga clubs. Huntelaar now falls down the pecking order and departure might be the only way for him to guarantee playing time.
