Mission accomplished then for Silvio Berlusconi who last month said if there was a chance to land a megastar he "would do so".
A statement on the Rossoneri's official website reads:
"AC Milan would like to communicate they have signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Barcelona on a loan deal with the right to an option to buy him after the 2010/2011 season for the sum of €24m.
"He will have a medical on Monday and then sign his contract."
Adriano Galliani also confirmed the figures of the deal and how Milan have obtained the player.
He told the press in Barcelona: "Yes we have defined the acquisition on loan with right to buy at €24m. The player will sign his contract on Monday.
"That is the figure we will pay over three years of €8m. I want to thank all of Milan and Silvio Berlusconi who made a big effort for this operation."
Ibrahimovic added: "Milan are one of the strongest clubs in the world. We have a fantastic attack."
"I am a Milan player. I am really happy that everything has turned out for the best. They had a fantastic season last year, and I have nothing to say to the Inter supporters.
"This move gives me more adrenaline. I have moved here to win the Champions League with Milan. I want to win the double."
And, of course, a week of ups and downs wouldn't be complete without a comment from Mino Raiola.
"Galliani has done really well to drop Barcelona’s price tag from €70m to €24m."
The deal is a scoop for Milan who have obtained a massive discount on the fee after Barcelona paid Inter around €66m for the striker last year when he joined them from Inter.
