The 33-year-old is out of contract after spending the last 18 months at Galatasaray and is aware his next destination could be key to his prospects of playing in Rio de Janeiro in three years' time.

He said: "I'll discuss it with the manager, talk about the options and which ones he may be able to give me some opinions on.

"I see this as a new challenge for myself again. I need to pick the right one because my goal is to be fit and playing well for the World Cup.

"Some of you might think I might be too old, but I want to be part of that plan. If the manager can assist me with that, then great."

Neill, recently linked to English Premier League new boys QPR, all but ruled out returning to the A-League as he still believes he has what it takes to play in a major European league.

"I hope so. I still feel I have a lot to offer there and I want to be playing at the highest level possible for me to reward myself and my country with more opportunities," he said.
