It is reported that an offer around 35 million Euros is on the table for the big Swede. An operation of such special circumstances will have Madrid second guessing the purchase of World Cup star Ozil, as they have spent over 75 Million Euros this past summer.
The pending question right now is if Barcelona will even consider such a transfer between the 2 clubs.
