Zlatan Ibrahimovic keeps the Premier League guessing by insisting he could retire this summer and 'go out at the top'
* Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been linked with a move to the Premier League
* The PSG striker is expected to leave the Ligue 1 winners in the summer
* He would be a free transfer but would expect wages upwards of £150k
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has produced a curveball by revealing he could retire this summer.
The gregarious striker is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his current contract expires at the end of the season but has remained coy over his next move.
The 34-year-old, currently on international duty with Sweden, has confirmed interest from Premier League clubs as transfer speculation continues to mount, but Ibrahimovic stated he could call it a day.
'Anything could happen next summer... maybe I'll just retire,' he told TV4. 'Nobody's thought of that possibility. I would prefer to go out at the top.'
Premier League powerhouses Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been linked with a move to make Ibrahimovic their marquee signing this summer.
'Yes, there is interest from the Premier League, I can confirm that,' the PSG striker said last week.

'The Premier League is the league in the world all people and fans speak about. A lot of things have to feel fine when I'm going to take a decision this summer.
'When the moment comes, when all the cards are on the table, that's when I have to go through what I want and then we'll see who wants it more,' added the 34-year-old.
'It's like a marriage. Two parties have to want it, not just one or the other. Each side needs to want it as much as the other.'
Ibrahimovic, whose career transfer fees come to a grand total of £133.2m, would be available on a free transfer should he decide to leave Paris but would expect wages upwards of £150,000.
Away from the established elite in the Premier League, West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has claimed the club is tempted by an audacious move for the PSG talisman.
'We have a list of about ten strikers all over Europe, and most of our money will go into signing a striker,' Sullivan told talkSPORT. 'That is the plan for next season.
'I'd love Ibrahimovic from PSG, but whether he'd come to us I don't know. I know he's 34 but he's a fantastic player.'
