Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent says all of the top Premier League clubs have made enquiries about signing the striker - except Manchester City.

Ibrahimovic becomes a free agent at the end of the season and although he has not ruled signing a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain, he is being reportedly linked with a host of top European clubs.

Ibrahimovic previously worked with Pep Guardiola - who will succeed Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City this summer - when the two were at Barcelona, but the pair suffered a strained relationship in the season they spent together at the Nou Camp.

He just can't help himself... Zlatan Ibrahimovic embarrasses his Sweden team-mates in training.

Asked if there had been interest in the Sweden international from the Premier League, the striker's agent Mino Raiola told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Outside of Manchester City, who will be managed by Pep Guardiola, all the big clubs have knocked on the door."

Riola says whoever signs him can expect years of service - he believes Ibrahimovic can play until he is nearly 40.

"With the physique and mindset he has I told him he can play another five years," he said of the 34-year-old.

"He has incredible energy that only improves with time. When he has time he even goes out hunting. He isn't human in a sense that people can't even imagine what he is capable of."

Riola confirmed there is also significant interest from Italian clubs, and claims Inter Milan have made an offer. But he also said it is possible Ibrahimovic will stay with PSG, with whom he has already won the French title this season.

"They are doing all that they can to sign him to an extension. Paris remains an option," he said.
