Real Madrid considering shock January move for Ibrahimovic (Cope)
Los Blancos have struggled
in the absence of the Portuguese
talisman following his move to Juventus,
going five games without a win as
pressure builds on manager Julen
Lopetegui.
They lost again on Saturday at home to
Levante, while they also set an unwanted
record by going 481 minutes without
scoring – the longest drought in club
history.
And now Cadena COPE claim the club are
looking into the possibility of signing
Ibrahimovic on a short-term loan deal
during the MLS off-season to solve their
problems in front of goal.
The Swedish striker is fit again and back
among the goals for LA Galaxy, with his
header on Sunday night against Minnesota
United taking him to 22 goals in just 26
appearances this season and securing a
play-off place.
Ibrahimovic’s old clubs
Manchester United
and AC Milan are also reportedly
interested in taking Ibrahimovic on loan
when the window opens in January,
though the 37-year-old could be hard to
persuade.
'I think I’m in a situation where I need to
have a good balance between work and
rest,’ Ibrahimovic, whose career
was nearly ended by an ACL injury, told
Sky Sports.
‘Because I came back from injury and
because of my age and the load I’m
putting in during training.
'It’s not what I have been thinking about
because we still have two games,
hopefully we make the play-offs.
'Any more on that I don’t know what to say
because I haven’t focused on that, I
haven’t put any thought on it.’
