With Real Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona all sniffing around Serie A top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic Internazionale president Massimo Moratti has slapped a €90m (£76.18m) price tag on his prized asset.

Ibrahimovic, who has been slow to commit his future to the Nerazzurri, may have only one year left on his contract but Moratti wants his slice of the mega-deal pie that has already served up a £56m Kaka payday for City rivals Milan, a world record transfer of £80m for Ronaldo and has pushed up the price of many other players.

Moratti said: "If it is true that Bayern Munich have placed a €70m tag on Ribery, then I will need to ask a minimum of €90m (for Ibrahimovic)."

The Inter chief has also confirmed that manager Jose Mourinho wants to be reunited with former Porto duo Deco and Ricardo Carvalho and will be entering into negotiations for the Chelsea pair.

"Mourinho has asked us for Deco and Carvalho and we are working towards making him happy," said Moratti.

It looks like a terrible twosome could also be leaving Tottenham Hotspur with manager Harry Redknapp eager to offload strikers Roman Pavlyuchenko and Darren Bent to help fund his summer spending spree.

Pavlyuchenko is "an interesting player" according to VfB Stuttgart director of sport Horst Heldt and new Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is eager to sign Bent - along with Manchester City defender Richard Dunne and Wigan Athletic midfielder Lee Cattermole.

Premier League new boys Wolverhampton Wanderers have made their first signing of the summer, subject to a work permit, and will be hoping that Red Star Belgrade midfielder Nenad Milijas can help them stay in the top flight.

The 6'2" Serb joined for an undisclosed fee and signed a four-year contract.

Manchester City are hoping to bolster their attack with Portsmouth's Peter Crouch, whilst offloading Brazilian striker Jo to Fulham, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Monday morning's rumour mill also had City linked with a swoop for want-away Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez.

Also, Blackburn Rovers are attempting to sign Chelsea striker Franco di Santo on loan and Bolton are set to reignite their interest in Sporting Lisbon midfielder Miguel Veloso.

I was listening to Alex Lalas recently during the confed. games currently going on in Soth Africa; His comments that Kaka was not worth the fees being paid for his transfer. To say the least that was very abysmal. Unfortunately Alex could not suggest how much he things Kaka was worth. I wonder how much Alex was worth when he supposedly played.
