According to reports, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is considering a summer move to Chelsea, and could sign a contract with Jose Mourinho’s side in January.
The 34-year-old frontman’s current deal at Paris Saint-Germain comes to an end next summer, and as such, he can agree terms with prospective suitors at the beginning of 2016.
That club could well be Chelsea, according to ESPN Deportes, with the source reporting that Mourinho is keen to sign the Swedish superstar.
