Spanish La Liga News :: Zlatan Ibrahimovic seals Barcelona move with Samuel Eto'o moving to Inter Milan

Posted on 2009-07-27 by Gooner

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has signed a five-year contract with Barcelona to end his three-year spell at Inter Milan.

Barca have paid £40m while Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o moves the other way to the Italian champions on a five-year deal and former Arsenal player Aleksandr Hleb arrives as a "make-weight" on loan.

The 27-year-old Ibrahimovic will need treatment after fracturing a finger on his left hand in a pre-season friendly against Chelsea in Los Angeles last week.

Ibrahimovic was the top scorer in Serie A last season while Eto'o was equally prolific as Barca clinched an unprecedented treble after landing the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League crowns.

The deal includes a nominated buy-out clause of 250m euros (£216m) for Ibrahimovic foir future moves.
