Negotiations over the transfer of Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic to AC Milan are to extend to Thursday.
Milan vice president Adriano Galliani and Barcelona president Sandro Rosell emerged after having lunch Wednesday to say negotiations were ongoing.
"Tomorrow at noon, I have an appointment with the president of Barcelona. Let's see," Galliani said on Milan's website. "The negotiations are very complex, very difficult, very expensive. The will of Barcelona is to sell the player to Milan, the availability of the player also like that. There is a lot of money to overcome and this is the difficulty."
Milan is reportedly prepared to take the Sweden striker on loan, while Barcelona wants to sell him in a full transfer.
Galliani said Marco Borriello or Klaas-Jan Huntelaar would not be part of any deal.
"We are here to try to take Ibrahimovic to Milan, that's all," Galliani said. "I will try and that's why I am here. I do not move, even it means not going to Milan against Lecce on Sunday. I do all that is in my ability and capacity to try to bring this great champion to Milan.
"It is very difficult."
Ibrahimovic played for Juventus and Inter Milan before joining the Spanish champions last season in a $66 million deal that sent striker Samuel Eto'o to Inter. He scored 21 goals in all competitions but often struggled to fit into Barcelona's intricate passing schemes.
