On Wednesday, LA Galaxy announced that Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be leaving the team after his expected departure, sparking speculation about his next move.
"I came, I saw, I conquered. Thank you LA Galaxy for making me feel alive again," Ibrahimovic said in a statement.
"To the Galaxy fans – you wanted Zlatan, I gave you Zlatan. You are welcome. The story continues … now go back to watch baseball."
Despite his impressive goals tally in the States, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made it clear that there is one reason why he won't be signing the Swedish striker.
"If he had not played for Manchester United before, then we might have considered him," Klopp told Sportbladet. "But I'm not even sure he wanted to play here. We're a pretty intense team…"
However, Klopp had a clear message for Ibrahimovic, expressing his respect for the striker's career and character.
"With that said, I couldn't have had more respect for Zlatan," Klopp added. "I love his whole career, love his efforts, love his confidence. While it may not always be right, it is entertaining anyway. He's a fantastic character and I really hope he doesn't stop playing football. The world will miss him too much."
