Wales captain Aaron Ramsey says he would be open to rejoining Cardiff City "one day" amid uncertainty over his club future.
Ramsey is due to become a free agent at the end of this month having failed to agree a new deal at Ligue 1 club Nice.
The 32-year-old has been linked with a return to Cardiff, where he started his career.
Speaking at an event in his hometown of Caerphilly, Ramsey was asked if he would like to play for Cardiff again.
The 32-year-old said: "That's where I grew up so having that opportunity, and them giving me that opportunity and giving me that platform to go on to what I have achieved so far in my career, I will forever be grateful for [that].
"So for sure one day I would love to go back there, but who knows when that time might be. We'll see.
"There are a few things that need sorting out now over the next few weeks for me.
"The most important thing for me is to enjoy my time off now with my family and to make the right decision going forward for us."
Cardiff are under an EFL transfer embargo - and are currently only able to sign free agents - because they defaulted on payment of the transfer fee for the late Emiliano Sala.
