"Athletes unite the world, politics divide it," Ibrahimovic said at a press conference for the San Remo music festival which he is co-hosting, doubling down on his previous criticism of James.
Ibrahimovic also commented on his altercation with former Manchester United teammate Romelu Lukaku, which saw the two prolific goalscorers clash during the recent Milan derby.
"If he wants to come [to San Remo] he's welcome," the 39-year-old said, per the Guardian. "What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch."
