Latest update:
Zlatan came to training this barca's morning at 11 after "miraculously" getting over the injury that prevented him from participating in yesterday's evening training. For some reason, Ibra brought his wife Helena with him. Maybe she's gonna keep the engine running in the Ferrari outside after Ibra drop kicks Pep and runs out.
Yesterday it was reported that the fee would be €40, but new and unsubstantiated reports say that for that price Barca wants another player in the deal to let Ibra at that price. I don't think this is likely but wanted to report it anyway.
A funny detail in the training is that Messi, Zlatan and even Pep are covering their mouths as they speak, normally it's done to avoid lip reading what they are talking about.
This morning Liverpool and Mascherano has agreed a transfer to Barca for, reportedly, lose to £25: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/aug/27/liverpool-barcelona-javier-mascherano" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010 ... mascherano</a> .
This surely means that Barca is very much expecting to sell Zlatan to get the money to buy Masch (They spent the Toure money + €5 to buy Villa), which leads to believe that staying in Barca is not an option for Ibra.
Zlatan's 24 hour timeout to make a decision on Milan's proposal, which would lower his salary from €12m to €8m or €9m, depending on what source you want to believe, is to expire this afternoon.

Gazzetta reports that lawyers are defining the last details of the contract. Galliani is reported to be in his hotel room arranging the practicalities to bring Ibra home asap.
The general feeling in the reports is that it would be very improbable that the deal would be called off now.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 27, 2010 12:16 pm --<br /><br />Zlatan is joining Raoila with the lawyers after the training session in the offices of Camp Nou and, after fixing some last details, everybody expects him to sign the papers.
