Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has many choices to make and has not ruled out a move to Qatar, the home of his owners when his contract with the French champions expires.
PSG captain Thiago Silva has vowed to go all-out to help the legendary striker win the Champions league before he leaves the club.
34-year-old Ibrahimovic is entering into the last six months of his contract with PSG and he may choose to end his career outside of Europe.
The Sweden international is free to discuss the terms over a summer transfer with clubs not in France from Jan 1. However, Zlatan feels that it is probably too late for him to play in the Premier league and also has plans for joining soccer clubs in the US.

Former Barcelona stalwart, Xavi Hernandez was 35 years old when he moved to Al Sadd in the Gulf state, which is connected to Barcelona through the Qatar Foundation’s sponsorship.
The players are relaxing in Doha at present and told in a conference call to journalists that he had a lot of time to think and make a good decision over his future.
“It’s a new situation for me,” Ibrahimovic is quoted as saying in L’Equipe. “I’m free to do what I want… I don’t yet have a destination in
my head.
“To play in Qatar? I have a good relationship with Nasser and with the people of Qatar but I can’t say anything. Let’s just say that it’s a
possibility.”
This leaves a hint that he hasn’t decided yet and doesn’t mind playing in Qatar too.
Silva wants to send off Zlatan with a Champions league triumph to the striker’s name before next summer.
Ibrahimovic has won league titles in Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France during his career, along with personal accomplishments along the way.
“I think he’s one of the best players that I’ve played with,” Silva told the Perform Group, in an interview.
“I hope that he can finish his career with a Champions League title. Of course, that’s his dream and it’s our dream.”
Silva heaped praise for his team-mate who joined PSG along with him in 2012 from AC Milan.
It would be exciting if any premier league club brings him to England at this stage.
