Ibrahimovic: 'In my opinion, it's too late' for Premier League move

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been just about everywhere and won just about every domestic title possible, but the English Premier League might just be the one league and domestic title he'll have to live without.

Ibrahimovic will be out of contract with Paris Saint-Germain at the conclusion of the 2015-16 Ligue 1 season, and while he'll be taking on the rest of Europe next summer, he himself doesn't see a late-career move to the Premier League developing next season.

"In my opinion, it's too late," Ibrahimovic told L'Equipe, according to ESPN FC. "I'm very happy at PSG. I'm starting my last six months over there, so we'll see what happens after that. But I'm feeling good. I'm making the most of every day that I spend on the pitch.

"As long as I'm playing at the highest level, I'm trying to make the most of it, to enjoy it as much as possible and to do what I know how to do."

At 34 years old, Ibrahimovic has been linked with a number of outfits, as well as a move to Major League Soccer.

But don't let age fool you, and don't call Ibrahimovic old, either. The citizens of Denmark know that all too well, as the big Swedish striker delivered a stinging remark to those who did just that, saying: "There was the thought that this would send me into retirement. I sent their entire country into retirement."

Too late for the Premier League, though? We dare to Zlatan say otherwise.
