Ibrahimovic, 38, appears to have confirmed that he has played his final game for LA Galaxy after their 5-3 play-off loss to Los Angeles FC.

The veteran made sure he didn't go out without causing a stir by grabbing his crotch at a rival fan as he headed down the tunnel.

Much speculation has been made over his next move with talk of a switch to Napoli, Manchester United and even retirement.

But Ibra appears to have quashed all speculation and instead revealed that Spain is his next destination.

On a video posed on Instagram, he says: "Hola Espana, guess what? I'm coming back."

The ex-Inter Milan star dropped no hints as to which club he could sign for.

Ibrahimovic will feel he has unfinished business in Spain after enduring a turbulent season at Barcelona before quitting for AC Milan.

He scored 16 goals in 29 league appearances as Barca won the league but rumours of an ego clash with Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi saw him leave for the Italian side on loan.

In his book, Ibrahimovic also revealed how he and Guardiola had a heated debate over his tactics.

He wrote: "I said I was being used in the wrong way and that they shouldn’t have bought me if they wanted another type of player.

The revelation will disappoint Napoli president who opened the door for Ibrahimovic's move to Serie A.

He said: "It would be my wish to see him in Napoli colours, it's more than a suggestion and it depends on him.

"It's been talked about for a few months now."
