Agent claims Zlatan Ibrahimovic has decided on his future but won't reveal decision till the summer
According to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent Mino Raiola, the Paris Saint-Germain striker has already decided on his future after the end of the 2015/16 season. The Sweden international’s contract at the Ligue 1 club runs out this summer and he will be a free agent in June.
The 34-year-old has already scored 31 goals in all competitions for Les Parisiens and was crucial to the side advancing to the Champions League quarter-final when he recorded a goal and assist in the 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The defending Ligue 1 champions had won all domestic trophies last season and the Champions League is seen as the final frontier for Laurent Blanc’s side. It is also a trophy that Ibrahimovic is yet to win in a highly successful career with clubs across Europe.
When questioned about his future, his agent Raiola told Swedish newspaper Expressen: “We know what we want. But we won’t say anything until the summer when the season is over.
“We are clear now what we want to happen,” he continued. “I know what he's counting on doing, but we don't want you to know for the moment.”

Will Ibrahimovic move to the Premier League?
Ibrahimovic has been linked with a move back to former club AC Milan, having spoken fondly of the San Siro club and its fans. But he also toyed with the media when a possible move to the Premier League also came up at a press conference.
When his future was a subject of discussion, Ibrahimovic had said: “I have another three months here and, then, what will happen? Big things will happen. So let's see.”
The idea of moving to the Premier League was put forth to him and he only said: “Let’s just say I am in good shape.”
Ibrahimovic had a chance to move to Arsenal back when he was an 18-year-old. But the thought of auditioning for the north London club put him off and Arsene Wenger eventually decided against signing him.
The nomadic striker has never spent more than four seasons at a single club in his senior career but PSG are also reported to be looking to extend his contract according to French website Le Parisien. With the striker averaging more than 35 goals a season in the past five seasons, he is still considered hot property despite his age.
