وبقميص يوفي قبل الفضيحة

Juventus president Giovanni Gigli admitted that the club won't make Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic stay with the club against his will if he insists on moving.

Ibrahimovic has been heavily linked with a move out of the Stadio Delle Alpi after the club was demoted to Serie B for their involvement in the Italian match fixing scandal, with Inter and AC Milan as top contenders to sign him.

"If we can get it into his head that staying with us is a great idea, then Ibrahimovic will happily stay with us, otherwise the situation will be complicated," Gigli told Sky Italia on Friday.

Recently, Juventus tried to halt any move for the striker by announcing a price tag of $52 million for any club willing to sign him, but the player's agent, Mino Raiola said that they're willing to take it to the court to end the player's contract with the club.

"We could stage a battle, and a player can be tied to a chair to keep him at a club, but his head is the main territory to be conquered."

"We only want players who are determined and committed to us so they're willing to drain their last drop of sweat for the club," Gigli considered.
