Riise wants to continue his career in the USA © EuroFootball.com

Leaving the "Roma" club, John Arne Riise would like to continue his career in the United States.

The Norwegian defender's contract with the Italian team will expire in the summer of 2012, but it is intended to be extended.

Riise claims that this will be his last contract in Europe, and after it expires, the footballer will move to the USA.

"We will talk about extending the contract with the 'Roma' management in September," Riise told "Vg Nett." - I think the financial side and the contract term are just formalities.

"I see myself in Rome for a few more years, and then I will move to the USA. I really want to play there, it's a dream I've been nurturing for many years."
