5) Real Madrid

Before you scornfully dismiss the idea, consider the present scenario. Karim Benzema has just had his worst season since his debut campaign, scoring fewer than 20 goals in all competitions for the first time since 2009/10. The French striker’s role has changed a bit ever since Cristiano Ronaldo has come into the box more often, effectively playing as a second striker.
Real Madrid are probably one of the few top clubs that can afford Ibrahimovic’s wages. Should Benzema fail to perform in the 2017/18 season, a six-month spell for Ibrahimovic when he is back to full fitness would not be a bad idea.
He has played for Barcelona in the past but his acrimonious exit suggests that he won’t stay loyal to the Camp Nou club. Besides, he has played for Juventus, Inter and AC Milan one after the other in Serie A. What loyalty?
Florentino Perez loves a Galactico signing and Ibrahimovic would represent a major coup if it works in the club’s favour. The only issue would be convincing Zinedine Zidane who has so far shown no inclination for big-money Galactico signings.
But then again, Ibrahimovic would be a free transfer. So why not?
