Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s transfer destination will be made official on June 7, and he promises it will be ‘this summer’s big bomb.’
All the transfer speculation surrounding Zlatan Ibrahimovic will all be over soon. WhileSky Sports reported that a deal would be made before the Euros, Ibrahimovic confirmed that much himself when he told a Swedish outlet that he will be announcing his new team on June 7th.
Football writer Jonas Giaever provided a video clip of the interview, along with translation:
Ibrahimovic (to @fotbollskanal ): "There will be a big announcment on the 7th. It will be this summer's big bomb."

Ibrahimovic (to @fotbollskanal ): "It feels good, feels better than good. A lot will happen with this news, so hopefully you'll all enjoy"
It could obviously have something to do with this supposed clothing line as well. I'm just sharing what's being said.
As @PeterBengtsso11 points out; Zlatan gets asked about if he has found a new club and he just responds "come and see the 7th".
While Ibrahimovic gave no hints as to which club he was signing with, the fact that he described it as “this summer’s big bomb” is a sign that it will be a prestigious club. After all, this is an announcement that will have to overshadow both the Copa America Centenario and Euro 2016. But perhaps his ego is so big that no matter which team he signs for, it will be bigger than both of those events.
The two European teams Ibra has been linked to the most this summer are Manchester United and AC Milan, although he could end up in China since they would presumably offer him a better deal.
Of course, if Ibrahimovic announced he was playing in China, it would still be considered a big bomb since that would be a big surprise that would shake up the entire summer transfer window. But the smart money is on Zlatan pursuing that elusive Champions League trophy, and who better to do that with than by teaming up with Jose Mourinho and Manchester United?
Whatever he announces, it’s sure to set in motion what will be a very hectic offseason.
