Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played down the prospect of making a move from AC Milan to Manchester City.

There had been some reports concerning a potential move for the Swede during the summer, but the striker remains coy over whether or not he will walk away from the San Siro.

The 29-year-old has hinted that he may not play for another club in his career, but has maintained that ‘things can change quickly’.

“Me at Manchester City? Well, I say nothing,” the 29-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I still have three years left to play at AC Milan, then I see the end of my career.

“I don’t have the strength to change and move one more time. But, in football things can change quickly.”

Ibrahimovic also had his say on his former team-mate Mario Balotelli, who has had to endure some criticism from manager Roberto Mancini himself – who asked the player to be more disciplined recently.

He added: “When you are a talent, you need the right environment to grow well, but it is not always enough.

“Look at Balotelli – he had so much talent, the right environment, but he didn’t go to the last level.”
