The Portuguese media reports that the 34-year-old defender would like to return to Lisbon, where he began his football career at the age of nine.
"I am glad there is a possibility to return," said the Portuguese player. "However, at the moment it is only a possibility. But until it happens, it would be foolish to give up. After all, I have been striving for this for 12 years."
