Ibrahimovic completes Barca move
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has completed his move to Barcelona after the Spanish club confirmed he had signed a five-year deal to join them.
A statement on Barcelona's website revealed they had paid Inter Milan 46million euros for the Swedish striker, with Samuel Eto'o and Alexander Hleb also joining the Italian champions in the 'swap' deal.
Ibrahimovic completed his medical today - and while it showed he had a fractured left hand, a deal was struck which included an astronomical buy-out clause of 250million euros for the player.
Barca also confirmed that Eto'o is valued at 20million euros in the deal, while Inter will have the chance to buy Hleb for an initial 10million euros once his season-long loan spell is concluded.
Ibrahimovic will inherit Eto`o`s number nine shirt at Barca and becomes the Catalan giants` third signing of the summer after Brazilian duo Maxwell and Keirrison.
Maxwell was also signed from Inter for a fee that could rise to 5million euros, while Keirrison has cost Barca an initial 14million euros from Palmeiras but will be sent out on loan next season.
