AC Milan sign Ibrahimovic

(I took this picture outside of the San Siro on July 30th)

Massive, massive signing that became official only hours after my first post today. Milan has finalized a 24 million euro deal with Barcelona for a year long loan, with Milan's option to buy at the end of the season, for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The total length of the deal would end up lasting four years.



Apparently 16 La Liga goals and 4 Champions League goals in your first season isn't good enough for Barca. Those numbers are peanuts compared to what he did for Inter and what he'll be expected to do for Milan. With Milan's addition of an absolute monster of a striker, they're legit contenders for the scudetto, maybe even the favorites. With a new and exciting coach and Hunteelar, Jankulovski, and Kaladze expected to be cashed in for, Zlatan's signing revolutionizes the team. November 13th just got highlighted, underlined, and circled on my calendar.
