Serie A club Bologna rules out Zlatan Ibrahimovic signing amid rumours

MILAN: Serie A club Bologna have categorically denied any possible move for Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the summer transfer window.

The Swede's contract with Milan comes to an end after the conclusion of the current season and he is set to become a free agent.

Ibrahimovic has been linked with a move to Bologna considering his close relationship with their manager Sinisa Mihajlovic. Even before his transfer to Milan in January, he was briefly linked with Bologna.

"I understand the media interest in making this a story, as he is such an important name at the top level, but Ibrahimovic is not a possibility," Bologna director of sport Riccardo Bigon told RAI Radio 1 as per Daily Mail.

"We are no longer in contact. He had spoken to Mihajlovic in winter then made his choices and from then we haven't taken the situation into consideration."

Ibrahimovic scored four goals in 10 matches for Milan before the season was abruptly halted due to COVID-19 pandemic and his team currently sit at seventh spot in the league with 36 points in 26 outings. IANS
