He said: “In life, you can never say never. There have already been players in the past that have returned to play after a couple of years.
“Some Serie A clubs have contacted me recently. It happened a month ago and it brought some thoughts to my head.
“I told myself, how come after so many years, they’re still asking me? I would be ready in 2 months.”

“When you turn the page you never know what awaits you. It wasn’t my choice, but in that moment it has to be experienced differently from the context.
