Mou makes Ibra ultimatum
Saturday 20 June, 2009

Inter Coach Jose Mourinho has told Zlatan Ibrahimovic to make a decision on his future by July 12, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

The 27-year-old striker has made no secret of his desire to move to Spain, preferably to European champions Barcelona.

He doubts whether Inter can help him win the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or, which he feels he needs to gain recognition.

Before going on holiday, Mourinho apparently met Inter President Massimo Moratti and Gabriele Oriali to discuss the matter.

They agreed that a decision has to be made by July 12, so the club has enough time to find a replacement should Ibra leave.

Samuel Eto'o, Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema are reportedly being considered as possible alternatives to Ibra.

Meanwhile, Inter director of sport Marco Branca has flown to London to finalise a deal with Chelsea for Deco and Ricardo Carvalho.
