It looks like Djibril Cisse is having second thoughts about retirement.

Despite recently announcing his intention to hang up his cleats at the end of the Ligue 1 campaign, Cisse - who is now 33 and on the verge of wrapping up an 18-month contract at SC Bastia - is intrigued by a move to Major League Soccer as he claims that a number of offers have come his way from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

"As long as I can play, enjoy it, contribute my experience, help the youngsters and older players, I'm happy," Cisse told France Football, according to MLS' official website.

"Clubs still think of me. There are a lot of offers from the USA. India, too. I have two or three things in Poland and some which are a little funky, but the USA would be cool."

While Cisse's enthusiasm is contagious, long gone are the days when his colourful haircuts could be seen wandering around the pitches of Europe on a regular basis. He's only made seven Ligue 1 appearances as a substitute this season, accumulating a total of 59 minutes played.
