BARTOMEU'S REVELATION "Raiola told me Ibra was going to hit Guardiola"

-Joseph Maria Bartomeu has shed more light on the bad blood between Zlatan Ibrahimovic  and Pep Guardiola.

The former Barça president and pre-candidate for the upcoming elections claimed that the Swede's agent, Mino Raiola, had told him that the striker was "going to hit Guardiola" one day.

These comments came during a function at the Real Club de Tenis Barcelona, during which Bartomeu sought to talk up his relationship with Raiola, who is also Paul Pogba's agent, in light of Joan Laporta doing the same.

Bartomeu also stated that he has a signing lined up if he is elected, but refused to reveal who it is. All he would say is that "the coaching staff have asked for a specific midfielder to be signed. We have him in the bag, but we can't say his name".

On a different note, Bartomeu defended the idea of the club's interim Managing Commission getting involved in transfer business. "I've resigned, but the club continues to work on what was agreed on in April", he noted.

As for the controversy over the agreement with Qatar, Bartomeu insisted that his campaign and Barça are not bound by the commercial deal in place with Qatar Airways, claiming they are "free". "We've talked to other companies and have proposals. Now we have a much better renewal offer from Qatar", he added.
