The Swedish striker could join Barcelona from Inter Milan in a swap deal that will see Samuel Eto'o head in the other direction.

"Eto'o arrived to replace the Swede, then it wouldn't be that bad for them, would it?" Blanc was quoted as saying by Italian media.

"Let us just say that without Ibra the League could be more entertaining."

Ibrahimovic does not enjoy the best of relationships with Juventus supporters, having left the Bianconeri when they were demoted to the second division in the summer of 2006.

He joined their rivals Inter and went on to become one of the most fearsome frontmen in the world.
