The Turin giants are set to offer Zlatan an improved financial package worth five million euros per season in order to persuade him to stay with the club in Serie B. Juve will start the season with a 17-point penalty, and face a tough challenge returning to the top flight at the first attempt.

World Cup-winners Fabio Cannavaro and Gianluca Zambrotta have left the club along with Emerson and Lilian Thuram, but the bianconeri have held onto star players Gianluigi Buffon and Pavel Nedved.

Ibrahimovic also looks set to stay given Juve's sky-high valuation, despite interest from both Milan clubs. AC Milan need a striker and have money to spend following the sale of Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea for 44 million euros, but they are unlikely to offer more than half the asking price.

Inter start the season as Serie A favourites and would be an attractive destination for the 24-year-old, but have a number of attacking options and would be loath to break the bank for a player who shone only intermittently last term. However, doubts remain over Adriano's ability to cut it at the highest level, while Inter have been in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the future of Nigerian international Obafemi Martins.
