Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has insisted that he will not consider a switch to the English Premier League in the summer.
The Swedish frontman could be sold by the Blaugrana following the arrival of Spanish international striker David Villa, with both Manchester City and Chelsea linked with a move for the 27-year old.
However, the player himself insists that he has no intention of making a move to England.
In an interview with Swedish magazine Café, Ibrahimovic stated, “England does not feel close to me. I do not like rain.”
The former Inter striker also said that he is considering a coaching role to remain in football after his career is over.
He said, “Football will always be in my heart, it is a part of me. I am hoping to contribute my knowledge to Swedish football in some other way.”
‘Ibracadabra’ moved to the Camp Nou from Inter last summer as part of a swap deal involving Samuel Eto’o, and scored 16 goals as the Blaugrana retained their Primera Division title.
