The powerful forward has been part of the Catalan giants' title-winning campaign, but has not always seemed to fit in with the swift-interchanging, high-tempo pressing game favoured by manager Pep Guardiola.
David Villa has already signed for next season, fuelling reports that the Swede will move on before next season.
He had been touted as part of an exchange deal with Arsenal for Cesc Fabregas, while Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are all believed to be in the market for a high-profile striker, but none of these destinations now seem likely.
The 28-year-old told Swedish lifestyle magazine Café: "England doesn't feel close. I don't like rain."
A return to his old club Malmo is also out, with the striker intending to finish his playing career abroad.
He did suggest he would be open to a coaching role after retirement, but was not drawn further on the matter.
"Football will always be in my heart, it is a part of me, but I will not make any guest appearances in the Allsvenka, not as an active player at least," he added.
"Maybe I can contribute my knowledge to Swedish football in some other way."
