Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s agent said the Paris Saint-Germain star had made up his mind about his future last Friday, and it now appears that future will not include PSG.
The 34-year-old striker scored four goals in Sunday’s 9-0 trouncing of Troyes, which secured PSG’s fourth straight Ligue 1 title, but confirmed afterward he would not be returning with his contract up at the end of the season.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic to @beinsports_FR: "For the moment, I will not be at PSG next season. I still have a month and a half left here."

Ibrahimovic said he is focused on the next month and a half left in PSG’s season, and that he will reveal his next move this summer. However, rumors of a jump to the Premier League already abound.
The Swede, no stranger to colorful commentary, told reporters he might reconsider staying if the Eiffel Tower was replaced with a statue of his likeness.
“I don’t believe they can change the Eiffel Tower for my statue, even the people behind the club. But if they can, I will stay here — I promise you.”
While some at PSG might actually be willing to consider this offer, the tower itself was not having it.
J'aime ton humour @Ibra_official @PSG_inside et la vue de @Paris est si belle d'ici… mais La Tour c'est moi ! https://t.co/YYCmtIloS0

The Tower complimented Ibrahimovic on his humor but continued to say, “The view of Paris is so beautiful from here… but La Tour is me!”
The Tower has spoken, and it looks like Zlatan is headed out of Paris.
