Barcelona set to break relations with Ibra's agent

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's exit from Barcelona was thrown an added hurdle Friday after the Spanish champions said they were looking at ending relations with the Sweden striker's agent.

Barcelona says statements made by Mino Raiola in recent days ''undermine the honor and integrity'' of coach Pep Guardiola.

Raiola was quoted Friday as saying Ibrahimovic's situation was ''surreal'' as Guardiola had turned into an ''enemy'' of the player. Raiola added: ''I don't know what the problem of the coach is.''

Barcelona says Raiola has ''disrupted relations'' between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola, which has affected the player's ability to meet his end of the contract.

Barcelona has been negotiating with AC Milan over a possible transfer.
