AC Milan chief executive Adriano
Galliani believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be too expensive to return
to Serie A, but will not rule out a possible deal.
Sweden
international Ibrahimovic will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of
the season when his contract expires and reports have seen him linked
with a move back to San Siro, as well as possible switches to the United
States or the Premier League.
Galliani accepts
that any attempt to sign Ibrahimovic - who set a new record of 38 goals
in a single Ligue 1 season after scoring twice in PSG's final league
game against Nantes on Saturday - will be hampered by his wage demands.
But
71-year-old Galliani, who has been put under pressure by frustrated
Milan fan groups in recent weeks, stopped short of ruling out
Ibrahimovic's return.
"Ibra has wages that are incompatible with the Italian market, but we'll see," he told Mediaset Premium.
"He
is still very fond of Milan, but I more or less know that he has some
offers from from Asia, America and Europe. We'll see, we'll see."
Galliani went on to stress that talks will be held with Liverpool over the future of Mario Balotelli.
The
25-year-old returned to San Siro on loan for the season but has scored
just once in Serie A action during a campaign which has been blighted by
injuries and poor form.
"At the moment, Balotelli
is on a straight loan," he said. "We'll have the chance to talk about
it with Liverpool and, once the season is over, we'll see what needs to
be done.
"During the summer there will be plenty of chances to talk with Liverpool."
