Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti concedes Zlatan Ibrahimovic could leave if another club offers enough money and the player expresses a desire to quit the Italian champions.

The Sweden international has been in fine form all season but following Inter's UEFA Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester United has spoken of his frustration with his employer's persistent failure to make the competition's latter stages.

Again at the weekend, after scoring a brace in a 3-0 win over Reggina, Ibrahimovic was quick to talk to the press as he confirmed he would be considering his Inter future at the campaign's close, amid reported interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Moratti would be loath to lose his attacking talisman but concedes the club will always be bigger than a single player should the right offer come in.

High price

"Everyone has a price. If he decides to leave, he would also have one. No appointments have been set for the end of the season," Moratti said.

"Maybe Ibrahimovic leaves for somewhere else and then Inter win the Champions League. In life sometimes you make a change and then regret it.

"I can't think of an Inter without Ibrahimovic. He was only as angry as I was after the United game.

"I'd like to continue with Ibra at Inter."

No rush

Ibrahimovic's strike partner Adriano is another player who has seen his future speculated upon in the past campaign.

The Brazilian's agent Gilmar Rinaldi admits his client is keeping his options open as he refuses to rush talks with Inter over a new deal.

"I've seen Marco Branca but we haven't spoken about a contract," said Rinaldi.

"There is no hurry. Anyway, on the eve of a World Cup a player who has a contract close to expiry inevitably has a high market value."
