Bologna sporting director Riccardo Bigon has confirmed Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been in contact with manager Sinisa Mihajlovic amid talk he could move to the Serie A club.
Mihajlovic, who worked as an assistant coach at Inter Milan during Ibrahimovic's first two years at the club, was diagnosed with leukaemia in July.
Bigon told Radio Anch'io Sport (h/t Football-Italia):
"Over the last few months, Ibra and Mihajlovic have been in touch, also because of a difficult period for Sinisa.
"They have been sharing opinions about the Swedish player's future, and he is the only one who will be able to decide where it lies.
