Early this morning, Zlatan Ibrahimović, star striker for Paris Saint-Germain, the largest soccer club in France, tweeted that he will be leaving the club after this season.

Zlatan is famous for his enormous ego, so his choice of words in his farewell message come as no surprise. Arriving in 2012, he led PSG to four straight league titles, including this season, and several Champions League appearances.
Rumors have been following Zlatan all year as to whether or not he would stay with PSG, so this announcement does not come as a shock. His next destination is unknown, with many teams lining up for his services. He may elect to go to the English Premier League to prove himself once and for all, or he could go back to his original club Malmo FF, a small Swedish soccer club. At this point, only Zlatan knows where he is headed next.
PSG won’t be too shaken up by this move, seeing as they are one of the wealthiest clubs in Europe, with hundreds of millions in spending power. PSG have been linked with other superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Eden Hazard, so they will not be suffering a drop in quality any time soon.
