Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed explosive details about the fragile relationship he has with coach Pep Guardiola, saying the two have not spoken for six months.

The Sweden international also admits to not knowing about a possible transfer to Milan, but does wish to play alongside Ronaldinho.

"I haven't spoken to Guardiola for six months," Ibrahimovic revealed to Sky Sport 24. "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.

Rossoneri forward Filippo Inzaghi hopes the Swede is able to join him at the club, 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.

Guardiola has refuted talk of problems with the player, instead citing personal issues as the reason behind the fallout. He also revealed that the club will analyse the transfer market in the coming days, hinting that the 28-year-old will depart if an appropriate offer comes in, with Milan the most likely destination as talk from all parties concerned suggests the wheels are in motion on a possible agreement.

"If I have only spoken to him twice in the last six months, it is for some reason. There's always a reason for things. I'm super communicative and talked to him for 45 minutes, it was not a tense conversation. I have an open door, if we do not [speak], sure there's a reason but now is not the time to talk about it. I insist. For the sake of the institution it is better not say anything," Guardiola declared before suggesting that it's Ibra's personality rather than his football that has caused the rift.

"There's always a player and a person and the person comes first. I am coach of Barcelona, not coach of one player. I have no problems with his behaviour in training. He was an example of professionalism at work, but there is a person and that always comes first."

Guardiola also dismissed suggestions of a similarity between Ibra's situation and that of his predecessor Samuel Eto'o and fumed at the Swedish strikers decision to leave the field at Camp Nou ahead of the Joan Gamper trophy celebrations. Barca beat Milan 3-1 on penalties after the season curtain raiser at Camp Nou finished 1-1. 

"We speak calmly and we will study why he did not remain for the celebration. We will look at [August] 31. We are mature and he knows the reason why, but I will tell in due course," he stated.

"The [transfer] market is open until 31 [August] and I'm not going to explain now. If he [Ibrahimovic] stays here, my duty is to recover and tell him the reason of these things. It depends on how things go, we will analyse the situation.

"The situation of Ibrahimovic has nothing to do with that of Samuel [Eto'o]."

Guardiola also responded to recent comments from Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola, who labelled Pep as less than perfect.

"He made statements. The statements we will have to put up with. He's free to comment. I'll give my reaction in due course, he knows why," he added.
