| ibrahimovic has been heavily linked with a move to Los Angeles Galaxy |
The 34-year-old Sweden striker's contract with the French
champions expires in the summer, and he has been linked with Manchester United,
Los Angeles Galaxy and AC Milan.
"I am very proud," he said. "I came like a
king, I leave like a legend but I will be back."
PSG said Ibrahimovic leaves as "the greatest striker
and one of the very best players in the club's history".
Ibrahimovic is the club's record goalscorer despite only
joining the club in 2012, his 152 goals coming in 178 appearances.
PSG have won Ligue 1 in every season Ibrahimovic has been at
the club, wrapping up the title this season with two months to spare.
"I loved every day I spent here," said
Ibrahimovic, who has won league titles with six different clubs. "Paris
St-Germain has become a star club in the world and I played a key role moving
it forward. It is now the right time for me to take a different path."
PSG host Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday before meeting
Marseille in the French Cup final on 21 May.
An agreement is in place for Ibrahimovic to return to the
club at the end of his playing career, with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi
saying he is "looking forward to the prospect of working with him again".
Ibrahimovic finished as top scorer in France in 2012-13 and
2013-14, and leads Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette by 15 goals this season.
He has also been included in the Ligue 1 team of the year in
all of his four seasons in France.
