In an interview with reporters about  Paul Pogba's proposed move from Juventus to Barcelona, Bartomeu has shockingly revealed that Zlatan Ibrahimovic threatened to punch Pep Guardiola.

He told reporters, 'I know agent Mino Raiola very well having negotiated with him before. I dealt with him over Ibrahimovic in 2010, for instance.'

'I had many meetings with Mino. In one, he told me: 'Ibra will punch Pep one of these days.'

'Mino is a very friendly and very funny guy but one must look at his pocket. He makes a living ridiculously well. He is a specialist at players changing teams.'

Marquee signings have always been a part of  election campaigns  and Paul Pogba will most likely end up at Barcelona. However, this  revelation makes no sense at the moment.
