According to media reports in Italy, any club that is willing to concede to the financial demands of the player would be able to sign him. However, it is widely believed that AC Milan are the front-runners, where the player played between 2010 and 2012, scoring 56 goals in all. Ibrahimovic had also played for Juventus and Inter Milan in the past, having won a total of seven trophies in Italy.

However, Napoli could emerge as a surprise destination because of the Carlo Ancelotti factor. Ibrahimovic has played under Ancelotti in the past, during his stint at Paris Saint-Germain. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis had recently confirmed to the media that the club was interested in signing the Swedish international. De Laurentiis told that Ibrahimovic is a friend and that he had met him in Los Angeles, not as a footballer but as a normal person because they were in the same hotel. That he invited him over for dinner with his wife and kids and they had an amazing time. The president went on to confirm that it would be his wish to see him in Napoli colours, it is more than a suggestion and it depends on him and that it has been talked about for a few months now.
