The 25-year-old ex-Central Coast shot-stopper, who signed a three-year deal with Konyaspor in June, had his contract terminated by the newly promoted Super Lig outfit last week in unprofessional circumstances.

The situation has provoked debate about the wisdom of decisions made by Australian players moving to certain clubs and countries in Europe, but Vukovic insists there's no lesson to be learned from his example.

"It's something that's pissed me off a little bit," Vukovic exclusively told au.fourfourtwo.com.

"I've read a few things about it being a learning curve for players going to these countries and there's been questions about how much thought went into my decision about going over there.

"I signed a contract the first day I got over there and it was broken without just cause. I don't know what lesson could really be taken from it. When you sign a contract you expect it be honoured.

"If I went over there and didn't really enjoy the place I'd still be expected to play out my three years, so it has to work both ways."

Vukovic said he had no warning the club would axe him. 

"I didn't," he said. "Especially with how interested they were in having me at the club -they chased me for over a month.

"I signed a contract with them the first day, so I didn't worry about not being at the club and I was expecting to play.

"I was training well and playing well, so there was no indication for this to happen."

The Sydney-born stopper said his Konyaspor exit wouldn't put him off a return to Turkey in the future, although said the circumstances would have to be right.

"I think it'd have to be the right club in Turkey," he said. "It'd have to be a bigger club than the one I went to.

"The facilities and all that were good, but I think it was too small a club."

Vukovic is currently back in Sydney searching for a new club but insisted he still wants to fulfill his dream of playing professionally in Europe.

"Definitely, it's high on my agenda," he said. "I'm not going to let this experience cloud my judgement about going back over.

"No one could've predicted this would happen. I definitely want to go back over and give it a shot. I haven't played in any competition over there, so I want to do that."

Vukovic revealed he had been relishing his time in Turkey, until his acrimonious departure from Konyaspor.

"I was there for seven or eight weeks and it was an enjoyable experience," he said. "I enjoyed the training and the professionalism over there.

"There were a few things which were a bit hard to deal with as it's a bit different to being in Australia. It's one thing I realised when I was over there was how important talking to defenders is.

"No matter how much I learned the words, I ended up speaking in English when the time came to play.

"That was probably the hardest part, trying to learn the language and being able to communicate effectively with my defenders."

Vukovic said he's open to offers in his current search for a new club, but fancied a return to the A-League.

"We're open anything really," he said. "At this point in time the A-League is looking pretty good.

"If I can be a part of it at all this year, I'd definitely jump at the opportunity."

Vukovic added he was keen to sort out his short-term future as soon as possible.

"I need an income for starters, I haven't been paid in a long time," he said. "My girlfriend has quit her job to be with me, so there's no money coming in.

"But I also haven't played since we got knocked out of the competition last season with the Mariners. I definitely need to be playing games and getting as much regular game time as possible."

The former Olyroo's desire to play for Australia at the 2011 Asian Cup also meant he was keen to get back on the park.

"It was in the forefront of my mind with my decision to go to Europe," he added. "Now, without a club, it is going to be tough.

"Hopefully I can sort something soon and if I'm playing regularly I'll be eyeing the Asian Cup. If you're playing well you've got as good a chance as anyone."
