How is a 35 year old going to play 50 plus games, and still do 2 summer tournaments? For god sake, even Neymar who is 12 years his younger had to avoid one tournament!
 
THe Olympic coach even said he'd have to put his hope to Zlatan snubbing United to have any chance of getting Zlatan to the Olympics but he felt he wanted to include him in the list.. just if..
 
These days sponsorships, facebook, linkedin and instagram are the safest indicators when it comes to transfers.

This is definitely ZlatON!
 
Adidas can mean anything, Adidas and Real are possible also. Ok Real is out because Ronnie would cry, if Zlatan will steal his show in some games. If Bayern will be convinced to sell Lewy for let's say 80 Mio to Madrid I can see him joining Bayern. They have Carlo and can offer more in terms of man power. We have Mou and are throwing with money, so we are likely also. I say it's between us and Bayern.

United: 55%
Bayern: 35%
Rest: 10%

Hope he chooses us, he brings some balls with him, which we lack in the changing room. ;)
 
Really hope he doesn't play at Olympics. If we are only signing him for a year, what's the point of him missing bulk of August fixtures and then he probably needs a break from all those tournaments, so quite possible that he won't be ready till October.. No way can we lose two months from a player signed for a year..

We're better off signing someone else if that is the case..

Edit: OK maybe not till October, but say Sweden plays in the Quarters, that is still 17th August. And if they go all the way, till 20th August. Even if he gets a 3 week break, he won't be back till middle of September. Not ideal.

I don't see us selling Lewa, so he'll end up at United. If we were to however, I reckon Ibra would prefer us, for the simple fact that his time is about to run out, and he certainly wants another shot at the CL
 
Sweden will crash out of the Euros very soon so Zlatan will have some time to rest before the Olympics and then the PL season.
 
I'd like to see him at the Olympics.
 
The more I read the more I think he's Bayern bound, even more so with Ancelotti blowing smoke up Zlatan's backside in today's tabloids, couple that with the fact they can offer him Champions League I think he's going there
 
honestly, at 34 years old, playing in the Euro's and then off to the Olympics - he'll be in need of a good 3-4 weeks off. No pre-season and a new league - I just don't like the sound of it.

Don't mind him going to the Euro's as Sweden will most likely be out within the next few weeks and he'll be able to have a good rest and join in most pre-season.

Only LA or China could accept the Olympics, any decent good would be complete idiots to pay him his huge salary on a one year contract and allow him to play Euro and Olympics the summer before joining.
 
If we sign him we need him fully fit and well rested by the time the first league games around.
 
Is it just me that's certain he's coming? He's said he's picked his club a long time ago and he is due for a medical with us and also already made an agreement. I don't see Bayern doing that. This is nailed on im 100% certain, you'll see.

EDIT: it is important to note that no reliable media outlets have stated Ibra is going to Bayern.

Quite the opposite, he included Sweden to his Olympic squad.

He's only in the preliminary squad of 35 players and the U23-coach Håkan Ericson doesn't sound very optimistic that he will be among the 22 travelling to Rio:

"We don't know with his new club and other things. As of today, I'm not very hopeful" Ericson said, according to Fotbollskanalen yesterday.

"I've been in dialouge with Zlatan, and he says he's willing to delay his deciscion until after the Euros. I'll be keeping the door open even if it's only the slightest possibility he'll go." Ericsson also said.

And regarding the senior national team: Every indication is pointing in the direction of Zlatan retiring from international football this summer.
