Zlatan admits rift with Guardiola
Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic revealed that his relationship with manager Pep Guardiola has deteriorated.
According to reports from Sky Sport 24, Ibrahimovic looks to be driven out of the La Liga giants, with his relationship with Guardiola on the rocks.
"I haven't spoken to Guardiola for six months," Ibrahimovic revealed.
"I do not know the reason for this, but there are certainly problems.
"As for Milan, for now, I do not know anything about a possible move, so I will remain a Barcelona player. But I would like to play alongside a player such as Ronaldinho," he added.
When asked about Ibrahimovic's comments, Guardiola said in last night's post-match press conference: "We have no problem of communication. For the good of the club it's best not to say anything. There's always a reason, but I'm not going to explain it now. I'm very communicative.
"When it's the right time I'll give my opinion."
Guardiola added about the Swede's future: "If after the 31st (transfer deadline day) he's still a Barcelona player I will treat him as such."
On the other hand, veteran Filippo Inzaghi hopes the Swede is able to join him at AC Milan, and form a strong attacking combination.
"Good players are always welcome at Milan," the striker said. "The locker room is ready to welcome [Ibrahimovic]."
"Ibrahimovic's arrival is a dream that could now become true. Our roster is already excellent, but the transfer market is not closed yet," revealed Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell met with Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani and Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola earlier today, to discuss a possible move.
"Negotiations will continue on Thursday," Galliani told AC Milan's official website. "At noon I have an appointment with the president of Barcelona (Sandro Rosell). Let's see.
"The negotiations are very complex, very difficult, very expensive, but the relationship with Sandro Rosell is really good and he is very nice.
"The will of Barcelona is to sell the player to Milan. There is a lot of money to overcome and this is the difficulty."
