Pep Guardiola replied to Red Bird advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic after hearing that Kyle Walker was close to joining Milan. ‘If he said that…’

A journalist informed the Manchester City coach that Ibra had said Walker was close to joining Milan, and Pep replied with just a few words: “If Ibrahimovic said that, Ibrahimovic said that.”

Ibra and Guardiola are not believed to be on good terms after the Swede spent a disappointing season under the Catalan boss at Barcelona in 2009-10.

The former striker was appointed as the Red Bird advisor in December 2023 and oversees Milan transfer operations alongside club directors.
