Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is reportedly ready to sign a new contract at Juventus to put an end to speculation linking him with Chelsea.

It has been rumoured that the Swedish international was considering a move to Stamford Bridge if Roman Abramovich could meet his £80,000 per week wage demands.

But the Juventus striker, also rumoured to be joining Real Madrid, is reportedly ready to seal a new deal with the Serie A champions at the Stadio Delle Alpi.

Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola has refused to confirm that a new contract will be signed, but denied rumours of the Premiership leaders making a move.

“Zlatan is attractive for any club,” Raiola told Expressen. “But only the big ones can afford him.”

Seemingly, to try and put an end to speculation, Raiola finished: ”There is no agreement with Chelsea.”

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is thought to be desperate for a new striker in the summer but now it seems top targets Ibrahimovic and AC Milan's Ukranian striker Andriy Shevchenko are now off his target-list.
