Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Menger's theorem states that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of at most $k-1$ vertices. Let $Δ$ be the maximum degree of $G$. We show that there exists a function $f(Δ) = (Δ+1)^{Δ^2+1}$, so that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint and pairwise anticomplete paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of at most $k \cdot f(Δ)$ vertices. We also show that the result can be generalized from bounded-degree graphs to graphs excluding a topological minor. On the negative side, we show that no such relation holds on graphs that have degeneracy 2 and arbitrarily large girth, even when $k = 2$. Similar results were obtained independently and concurrently by Hendrey, Norin, Steiner, and Turcotte [arXiv:2309.07905].
