The Swedish striker, who scored 22 times in 27 matches for the MLS side in his first season, has been linked with a return to Manchester United or AC Milan but has quashed the speculation by saying he will stay in the United States.
“There is interest, there’s no secret,” said Ibrahimovic.
“There is interest from Europe, but my priority is the Galaxy. I’m here and I’m happy to be here.
Interest … There will always be interest. This is normal. When I was injured one year, then yes, but now when I’m back, alive, it is not a surprise.
The 37-year-old is set to play for Galaxy through the 2019 campaign but the rumours around his future have led to fresh talks on a new deal.
“If I belong to the Galaxy, I’m a Galaxy player, I don’t go abroad. If I belong to one club, I stay with one club and focus on that club and give all my attention to that club,” added Ibrahimovic.
“The club knows all my wishes, all my demands and it’s up to them what they want.
“They were very positive and they have been very good to me, very helpful to me and my family with whatever I need. I have a good relationship with everybody. Let’s say I’m not worried.
“I think the results speak for themselves. Let’s just say I’m happy, my family, everybody is happy and we have a good time and good life here. Everybody is working.”
