Edinson Cavani has been named as one of the four players whom Zlatan Ibrahimovic hated all through his footballing career.

The Swede has had spells with Europe's top clubs starting from Ajax to Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain.

According to Michael Ciani, his teammate at LA Galaxy, Ibrahimovic opened up to him on how he felt about Cavani at PSG.

"If you are close with Cavani, Ibra doesn't like it. Either you are with Ibra or against him.

"He told me that everything was fine with Laurent Blanc at PSG. The only person he did not get along with was Cavani. He told me that he had only hated three or four teammates in his entire career... and one of them was Cavani."

Shortly after making a switch to PSG, Cavani admitted that there were issues that needed to be addressed between him and Ibrahimovic.

He told reporters in 2013: “On a certain level, there's a connection between us that comes much more easily than with other players.

“I think we just need to work on it a bit harder.

“We haven't been playing together for very long, and we haven't had the proper preparation. Still, we've proven that there is a connection between us, even though we will need to prepare more thoroughly in order to get better results.”
