Your support makes all the difference.Zlatan Ibrahimovic has confirmed that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season.
The 34-year-old striker, whose contract with the Ligue 1 club expires this summer, tweeted on Friday: “My last game tomorrow at Parc des Princes. I came like a king, left like a legend.”
Ibrahimovic did not reveal the identity of his next club, having been linked with several members of European football’s elite in recent months, including Manchester United.
The Sweden international has spoken openly about the prospect of moving to the Premier League, one of the few major European leagues in which he has not played, but was coy when asked where his future lies on Sunday.
"It depends on others, not just me,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "What I want is to play, as for where that is, we will see. Soon you'll know everything and all this speculation will be over.”
Ibrahimovic would consider a return to former club Milan, where he scored 56 goals in 85 games during a successful two-year spell between 2010 and 2012.
"I have a good relationship with Milan,” he said. “I love Milan and in my view it's the biggest club I ever played for.
“I didn't want to leave Milan. My exit from Milan is the past and this is the future. Let's see what happens."
Ibrahimovic leaves Paris having won four Ligue 1 titles as well as one Coupe de France.
