Wales forward Gareth Bale says he would be open to a return to the Premier League - but Real Madrid are making it "difficult" for him to leave.
Frustrated by a lack of playing time, Bale came close to a move to China last year before Real blocked the move.
Other clubs are interested in signing the 31-year-old but his agent has said previously Bale is "going nowhere".
"I tried to leave last year but they [Real Madrid] blocked everything at the last second," Bale told Sky Sports.
"It was a project I was excited for last year but it didn't materialise. And there have been other instances but the club won't allow it or something, so it's up to the club.
"I want to play football. I'm still motivated to play football. I'm 31 but I'm in great shape still and I feel I've got a lot to give.
"We'll see what happens. It's in the club's hands and they make things very difficult to be honest."
Asked if he would like to return to the Premier League, the former Tottenham player said: "It's not really in my hands. If those options arise, it's something I'd look at for sure."
Bale is with the Wales squad in Helsinki as they prepare for Thursday's Nations League match against Finland. (BBC)
