'I don't know if he will be finishing his contract or not with PSG at the end of the season and if he's going to stay there or not. Maybe he tries a new chapter in his long career.
'He is probably the best in the history of Sweden if we talk about football and what he represents.'
Ibrahimovic is yet to play for an English club, but has won trophies with the likes of Ajax, Inter Milan and AC Milan, Barcelona and PSG.
'He was in so many countries and different leagues and he's won trophies everywhere. That speaks about his quality as a player and his importance,' added Mata.
