However, he has identified a reunion with former club Corinthians as an ideal way to sign off his career when he does call it quits.
“For now, I don’t think about returning to Brazil, my goal is to continue in Europe,” he said.
“I believe I still have a market here, to continue playing at a high level for a few more years, so my goal is to stay in Europe.
“I honestly cannot say whether I will return to Brazil and end my career here, or I will end in Europe or elsewhere.
“But if I really happen to return to Brazil, Corinthians would be a cool club to end at, to play for. It was the club where I was revealed, I have a special affection.
“I’m a professional, I don’t rule out any other club, but more for Corinthians, which I have a special affection for. It would be more on that side.”
