Xabi Alonso says Bayern Munich are likely to be his last club in professional football.
The 34-year-old has enjoyed a successful career with the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid and latterly Bayern, winning two Champions League titles as well as two European championships and one World Cup at international level for Spain.
"I think [Bayern will be my last club]," he told Marca. "While my mind and body can bear it, I want to keep playing at the elite level.
"And that will be with Bayern - I do not think there is another step for me in senior football. I would go to Italy, but there is not time to give myself there."
"I have not decided," he continued. "As the months pass, I will go slowly taking one direction or another.
"I'll see what I feel or whether the club sit down with me to discuss continuing or taking another path. I do not know what will happen. Time will tell.
"I do not burden myself with that. I have the freedom to decide and I do not set deadlines."
He added: "It would be a grand finale, but I do not think winning that changes my future," he added.
"In my case, to win [the Champions League] with Bayern is a dream, a super goal which hopefully we can achieve."
