Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said that he will make a decision on his next club ‘soon’ and has suggested that a return to Milan could be on the cards.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker, linked with a number of Premier League clubs, has openly speculated that he could move to England’s top flight.

Ibrahimovic’s contract with the Ligue 1 club expires in the summer and Manchester United have been repeatedly mooted as a potential destination.

The Sweden international, however, gave little away when speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport on Sunday, only revealing that his future would be resolved ‘soon’.

"It depends on others, not just me,” he said. "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 directly addressed speculation regarding a return to Milan, where he played 85 games and scored 56 goals during a two-year spell between 2010 and 2012.

The 34-year-old striker enjoyed his time in Italy’s second city, playing as part of the 2011/12 Serie A-winning side and also appearing for the club’s rivals Internazionale.

"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."
