Black Stars wing-back, Kwadwo Asamoah has hinted he would consider playing in the Ghana Premier League before he retires.
The 32-year-old has been clubless after parting ways with Inter Milan ahead of the 2020/21 Italian Serie A season.
At end of last season, Asamoah endured a torrid campaign due to injuries.
As he embarks to search for a new club in January, the former Udinese has said he would not rule out playing in the local top-flight.
"In the future, I won't mind going there (to Ghana) and play football, but this is not the right time for me to do so," he told BBC Sport Africa.
"I have quite a few years ahead of me to play in Europe before considering such a move."
Asamoah added that any return to Ghana would involve more than just playing for a club there.
"For me it would mean to go back and support Ghana's football, to encourage the young ones, share my experiences in Europe with them and give something back," he insisted.
"I know they would look at a player like me and be eager to learn; I could help them with my experience, show them what is necessary and encourage them.
"This might also inspire other players who are in Europe now to go back and help. We could be role models for them."
Kwadwo Asamoah started his playing career for Liberty Professionals.
Asamoah Gyan, who played with Kwadwo Asamoah at the Black Stars has returned to the Ghana Premier League after 17 years.
Gyan signed a one year deal with Legon Cities.
