Agent criticises Barcelona over Ibrahimovic transfer rumours

(GSM) – Zlatan Ibrahimovic agent Mino Raiola says Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola ‘should be in psychiatric care’ if he wants to sell the Swede.

The Sweden striker joined Barca last July from Internazionale for the total of €69 million, which made him the most expensive player in Barcelona history. He had a good start at the club but later lost his form and fitness. Some reports stated that Guardiola could be pushing for a sale, because he doesn’t fit into the tactics.

“It would be very strange if after getting the club to pay €75m, Guardiola then didn’t let him play,” Ibrahimovic agent Raiola said.

“In fact, if he did that then he should be in psychiatric care. It would be the decision of a madman,” the agent criticized the Barca boss.

“Ibra is happy at Barca and his season was fantastic, even if he hoped to win more,” he said about the reports that stated the striker is looking for return to Serie A.
