Paris Saint Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has claimed Mario Balotelli would be a good fit for his former side Barcelona, claiming both are average.
The Swedish captain played one season for the Catalan outfit after moving from Inter in the summer of 2009, in a deal worth €46 million (£37m) plus Samuel Eto'o.
However, following a bitter dispute with manager Pep Guardiola, the forward returned to Serie A with Milan just one season later for a substantial loss.
And Ibrahimovic has now expressed his disdain for his former employers and ex-Inter team-mate Balotelli, following recent suggestions the 22-year-old could be heading to Spain.
"Real Madrid? In fact Barcelona is the team which fix better with Balotelli. A medium player for a medium team." Ibrahimovic told Honduran newspaper Diez.
Ibrahimovic has started life at new club PSG with a bang, notching nine goals in just seven league appearances.
