Ibrahimovic loan to AC Milan agreed
FC Barcelona and AC Milan have agreed a deal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic to move to the Italian club on loan for the entire 2010/11 with the Rossoneri paying all his earnings.
Included in the agreement is the option for AC Milan to make the move permanent next summer for a fee of ?24 million.
If the option to buy Ibrahimovic is taken up by the Serie A club then that could see FC Barcelona save approximately ?60 million.

AC Milan agree deal to sign Ibrahimovic from Barcelona
AC Milan are set to sign Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic on a season-long loan from Barcelona, the Italian club has announced.
Milan have agreed a provisional fee of ?24m (£19.7m) to sign the 28-year-old outright next summer and the player has agreed terms on a four-year deal.
"We have agreed a deal for a season's loan and then the right to buy," Milan said in a statement.
"He will undergo a medical on Monday and sign a four-year contract."
Ibrahimovic is thought to have a £216m buy-out clause in his contract but Barcelona have agreed to sell him for substantially less than the ?66m (£54m) he was valued at when he joined from Inter Milan a year ago in a swap deal involving Samuel Eto'o, who moved in the opposite direction.
Despite scoring 21 goals in 41 games for Barca last season, Ibrahimovic largely failed to show the form that saw him named Serie A footballer of the year in his last two seasons at Inter.
He will now return to Italy to play for Inter's arch rivals, following days of negotiations between Barca and AC Milan representatives.
Rossoneri vice-president Adriano Galliani said on Thursday that talks were "very complex, difficult and very expensive".
Ibrahimovic played the first 45 minutes of a friendly between Barcelona and Milan at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, which the Catalonian side won 3-1 on penalties.
Afterwards the former Ajax and Juventus man conceded his relationship with Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola was strained.
"I haven't spoken to Guardiola for six months," Ibrahimovic told Sky Italia.
"I do not know the reason for this but there are certainly problems.
"As for Milan, for now, I do not know anything about a possible move, so I will remain a Barcelona player but I would like to play alongside a player such as Ronaldinho."
When asked about Ibrahimovic's comments, Guardiola said: "We have no problem of communication.
"For the good of the club it's best not to say anything. There's always a reason but I'm not going to explain it now. I'm very communicative.
"When it's the right time I'll give my opinion."
