Chelsea make new contact with Juventus ace Ibrahimovic


Chelsea have made contact with the agent of Juventus striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede has emerged as a major target for Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich after receiving little encouragement from the advisors of Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Abramovich has held talks with Ibra's agent Mino Raiola and is well aware that the young forward has still not signed a new, long-term contract - despite agreeing terms some weeks ago.
Chelsea have shelved negotiations with Juve for now while they're involved in the Champions League, but will step up their pursuit once the Italian club's European campaign is over.
