Ibrahimovic reveals retirement plans

Ibrahimovic's contract with AC Milan is set to expire at the end of the season and hopes of getting a new contract is very slim.

The Swede has been injured since April after picking up a muscle injury and has not featured for Milan since then.

He has only played just four games this season which has prompted claims that he will retire at the end of the season. However, Ibrahimovic has made it clear that he has no plans to call an end to his career.

The 41-year-old is not ready to hang his boot just yet and still wants to continue playing football next season.

According to Daily Mail, Ibrahimovic said, “I’m not one to give up. But there must also be joy in what you do, I can’t help but have peace in what I can do as number 1, playing football. 

“But we’re not there yet. I think I still have something to give. If I think about quitting? I don’t think so. If I have to continue playing? I think so. 

“But I have to find balance like in life. If you don’t have serenity, stability, you’re a bomb and the bombs explode.”

The Sweden international has been injured for most of this season and is working hard to get back to full fitness ahead of next season.

When asked about his fitness, Ibrahimovic said, 'I’m fine, I’m fine. I’ve worked a lot and I’ve been forced a lot, not only this year but also last year. But when I was knocked out, the team needed me. 

“And when you’ve done one thing all your life when you know what you have to do but you can’t do it, then you continue.

“I won’t give myself peace. I haven’t found the balance. When everything comes, everything comes immediately. This thought is spinning in my head. 

“My head is too strong, I feel like Superman every time I come back, but I have to have balance.”
