• Ibrahimovic deal is "possible"

Ibrahimovic failed to convince in his debut season at the Nou Camp and has slipped down the pecking order following the signing of Spain striker David Villa this summer, but Mino Raiola insists his client is going nowhere.

"Ibrahimovic is not moving," Raiola told Sky Italia. "Zlatan is a great player who is liked by many clubs, but nothing changes. He is and will be a Barcelona player."

AC Milan chief Ariedo Braida had earlier talked up a move for the former Internazionale forward, saying it would not be easy to sign the Swedish international but a deal was "possible".

However, Raiola says the transfer will not happen. "We like Braida's words, but the thing stops there," he said.
