Former Fulham and Chelsea winger Willian is open to another Premier League move as he insists he can play until he is 40.
The Brazil international, now 36, is a free agent after leaving Craven Cottage this summer when his contract expired.
When asked why he left Fulham and where he sees his future, Willian told BBC Sport: “I decided to leave Fulham much before the end of the season, in January or February. I had it in my mind that I would leave after speaking with my agent and family.
“I am looking at some options at the moment. I am thinking about possibilities in Europe, England, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the MLS - just not Brazil as an option for me.
"I am trying to see all the possibilities and think about making the right decision right now. I have some offers already and this is the key moment to decide my next challenge.”
