AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic plans to play for four more years before retiring.
The Swede, who will turn 30 in October, said he plans to bow out at the age of 33.
''After 33 years I think I will stop playing. I don't want to keep sweating blood every day,'' Ibrahimovic told Friday's Gazzetta dello Sport. ''After 33 years I don't know what I will be like physically and whether I will want to carry on.''
With Milan leading Serie A by five points with 11 games to go, Ibrahimovic is in line to win his third consecutive title with three different clubs. He won the Serie A title with Inter Milan in 2009 before he transferred to Barcelona and helped Pep Guardiola's team win the Spanish title the following season.
''When I arrived at Milan everyone said to me that we could win the title,'' Ibrahimovic said. ''We are leading, but we still have 11 games to go.''
On Saturday Massimo Allegri's team faces a tough challenge away to Juventus, which has lost six games in 10 to fall out of the European qualification places.
Nonetheless such is the rivalry between the two sides that Luigi Delneri's team would take great delight in slowing down Milan's progress.
''It is a big game. While we are playing for the top place, Juventus is trying to climb the table,'' Ibrahimovic said.
''Juventus and Milan are both huge clubs, with great histories and this match is worth more than three points in the championship. Juventus has a good mix of young and old players, like Milan does.''
Following the game with Juventus, Milan travels to London to play Tottenham Hotspur in the second leg of its Champions League last 16 clash.
Milan lost the first leg 1-0 and struggled to cope with the pace of Spurs' style of play.
''In the Champions League we have to get back to how we know we can be, but it is still an even game,'' Ibrahimovic said. ''It is important not to repeat the mistake we made in the first leg. In the first half we didn't go forward enough.''
