“I can’t rule anything out for my future but I don’t see myself going back to the Ligue 1,” he told RMC.
“I want to play at the highest level in Europe for two or three more years and then maybe move to the MLS," he continued.
“I was close to moving to Serie A where experienced players are admired but in the end my transfer to Italy did not happen.
“Who knows what the future has in store for me. I’ll evaluate the opportunities that I may have.”
