5 amazing players sold by Pep Guardiola

#3 Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Not the one!

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was signed by Barcelona for a whopping €40m + Samuel Eto'o from Inter Milan. The Swede striker was starting to show how good he was and Pep Guardiola pounced on the chance to snap him up.

However, despite a good start to his career at Camp Nou, Zlatan was benched more often than not after the winter break. The striker was frustrated and was eventually sold to AC Milan during the summer.

Speaking to Sky Italy, Zlatan said, "The first six months were perfect, then the manager changed system, tactics and it didn't work for me. I went to talk to him. I'm here to talk, if you think it's for another reason then we can't talk. I said: 'I believe that you are sacrificing some players for one player, Messi'. He said: 'I don't think this is the case but I understand what you say. I will take care of it, no problem, I will solve everything'. I thought it would be OK."

"The following game I was on the bench. I don't say anything, I work. Second match bench again. I thought he solved it well and he was not talking to me or explaining. Third match bench. Then the fourth match comes and bench again. I think something is strange. From that moment he stopped talking to me, looking at me. I go into a room and he walks out of it. He was not a bad person, but the most immature I've had because a man solves his problems." added Ibrahimovic.
