Milan boss Stefano Pioli has also expressed his desires for the Swede to remain the club beyond the current season.
"Zlatan is happy with us and I think the best thing about this team is that the players are happy.
"We are with a huge club, everyone wants to do well and I think it's right that he continues playing, and that he does it with us.
"He is an athlete who is highly motivated, is scrupulous in the way he looks after his body with everything from diet to recovery. He's tired, but you don't stay at this level for this long without looking after yourself.
"It's almost a race nowadays between the players to get to training early and leave later than anyone else. We're enjoying ourselves and want to give our best."
