The Sweden international moved to the Parc des Princes in 2012 and led the capital club to back-to-back Ligue 1 titles in his first two seasons, with the champions just one point behind Lyon at the top of the table as they look to make it three-in-a-row this year.
His representative feels the former Barcelona and Inter attacker will keep on playing until he is well into his 40s but suggested the full duration of that time will not be spent in France.
"Zlatan still has a year and a half on his contract," Raiola told RMC.
"He is happy in Paris, he tries to do his best and is in good shape, though he had some problems this year.
"But for Zlatan the future is short. I don't know if he can finish his career at PSG. He worked for himself for 15 years, now he will work for me for the next eight years. I think he can play until he is 42 or 43 but I don't know if he will play another eight years at PSG."
Raiola also said he is desperate for Ibrahimovic to win the Champions League during whatever time he has left in Paris, with the last-16 second leg against Chelsea coming up next week after Laurent Blanc's side drew 1-1 at home.
"I hope he wins the Champions League for his sake, for PSG and for French football," he said.
"It is a matter of luck too as it is not always the best team who wins.
"Zlatan told me the first-leg game against Chelsea was perfect. It was a perfectly prepared game.
There is a lot of respect between Laurent Blanc and Ibra. I can tell he likes Blanc."
Raiola, who also handles the affairs of the likes of Paul Pogba, insisted Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani do have a good working relationship, despite rumours to the contrary.
He added: "The problems don't exist. It is just a good story. Zlatan is PSG's leader, he respects Cavani and Cavani respects him."
