AC Milan president Berlusconi to make £15M Ibrahimovic bid

AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi is ready to back coach Carlo Ancelotti's judgment and move for Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede won't consider dropping into Serie B with Juve, but his poor form over the last 12 months has cooled the interest of several long-term suitors, including Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Reports last week stated Ibra had already agreed personal terms with Inter, but with patron Massimo Moratti targeting Fiorentina striker Luca Toni, Ancelotti is convinced now is the time to move for the striker.
Berlusconi is confident he can persuade the Turin giants to cash-in with a bid of £15 million - a year ago Juve wouldn't have considered selling the Swede for less than three times that amount.
