Juventus open to Chelsea offer for Ibrahimovic - March 16, 2006
Chelsea will test the resolve of Juventus over striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic with a £25 million offer.
The Mirror says the Italian champions are understood to be ready to talk, especially as that would spark an auction for Ibrahimovic, 24, with Real Madrid.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho wants the Sweden forward to add an attacking edge to their Champions League bid next season.
Ibra scored 16 goals in Juventus' title-winning campaign last term after an £11m move from Ajax, but had a pay rise request rejected.
Juve are interested in Chelsea's William Gallas, who has still to agree a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
