Doha: Zlatan Ibrahimovic hinted at a move to Qatar during an interview, if he decides to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his contract come June 2016.

The 34-year-old's existing contract with the Ligue 1 champions is set to expire at the end of the season and he has yet to make a decision on his future.

Ibrahimovic has been linked with MLS, but he has hinted that a move to the Qatar Stars League is an option as well.

"My current situation is new to me. I have an expiring contract and that is a new experience. I am free to do what I want," Ibrahimovic is quoted as saying by L'Equipe. "I am focused on PSG for now. I still have six months to go on my current contract and I want to give my best for the team. I do not have a next destination in mind.

"I have a good relationship with [PSG president] Nasser Al-Khelaifi and with the people of Qatar, but I cannot say anything at this stage. Let's just say that a move to Qatar is an option. I am enjoying my football at the moment and I'm feeling well both mentally and physically. I am enjoying myself each game. We will see what happens."
