Paris-Saint Germain is the new team that Ibrahimovic will be applying his trade, and at 30, the player still can be sold at a high price.
His first major move saw him leave Ajax for Juventus for €16m in 2004. Two years later Ibrahimovic moved to Inter for €25m.
After three successful years with Inter, Ibrahimovic was involved in one of the most exciting deals when he was transferred to Barcelona in a deal involving Samuel Eto’o. A deal worth just over €60m.
Ibrahimovic then returned to Italy on a one year loan to AC Milan to eventually make it a permanent deal worth €25m.
The Swede’s recent transfer to Paris-Saint Germain is worth €23.
Ibrahimovic can be called the king of league titles as he has won eight in a row between 2003-2011 (including the two titles revoked from Juventus).
Ibrahimovic’s closest challenger for highest transfer fee’s is Nicolas Anelka.
