Football is about to get a lot more boring in the summer of 2016.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed he'll retire from the beautiful game once his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in 2016, when the striker will be 34-years-old.

When asked if he would end his career in the French capital, Zlatan said:


"I have a contract until 2016. I will be 34 next season and I don't see myself continuing to play at the top level after that. So probably the answer is yes."

Ibrahimovic became Sweden's all-time record goalscorer earlier this year and has played for clubs including Ajax, Barcelona and both Milan clubs. His one last goal in the game is to lift the Champions League with PSG:


"I think we can win it. We have a good opportunity. This team is made to play in good tournaments. You need to work hard and to have a bit of luck with you. In the key moments, you need to have the small details on your side. I think we have that in our team now. We have more experience too, especially after last season. So we can do it."

It's fair to say Zlatan will be hard to replace.
