The 33-year-old has started 12 Premier League games for West Ham this season,
and the Argentine said his focus is on a successful campaign despite the fact his contract expires in the summer.
Asked about a possible extension, Zabaleta replied: „I don’t know. The main thing for me is to keep enjoying my football, I’m so happy to be part of the West Ham family.
„I know I’m not getting any younger but I still feel alright, I’m playing in every single game and physically I feel good.
„We will see at the end of the season what the best decision is for me, the club, for everyone, but at the moment I don’t want to think about this, I just want to enjoy playing games. The main thing is to have a good season with the team.“
But regardless of what happens next summer, Zabaleta said retirement was not an option.
He added: „No, I’ll be 34 in January and I love football so much. If I continue playing in every game it means I can go for a few more years.
„When you are in your 30s you cannot think about long term, that is the only thing, but I’m not thinking about retirement.
„If I can go for another few years I do will 100 per cent because I’ve got so much love for football.“
