Former Sampdoria striker Antonio Cassano says he could return to football.

Cassano pulled out of a move to Hellas Verona this summer.

He said, "For now I haven't received any proposals. Zero offers from Italy, but at least from France and Belgium they came looking for me, but I want to stay here.

“Who knows, perhaps I have become too cumbersome… I am following the training schedule given to me by (ex-Sampdoria fitness coach Agostino Tibaudi).

“If nothing happens over the next few weeks, I have nonetheless planned a mini-fitness regime for the next few months.

“That way I am ready if in January a club might need someone like me."
