Inter midfielder Patrick Vieira has revealed this will be his last year playing football in Europe, but he could have a spell in the USA.

Vieira's contract with the Beneamata expires in 2010 and he has not been guaranteed a renewal by the club. The Senegal-born star will be 34 by the time his contract with the Italian champions expires, and he is already making plans for an exit.

"I still have a year left on my contract and I think it will be my last in Europe at the highest level," Vieira told Orange Sport.

"I would like to try an experience in the United States, [former French international] Youri Djorkaeff has convinced me."

The Frenchman also spoke of his ambition to return to the national team after being dropped by Raymond Domenech for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Romania and Serbia.

"I want to return to the national team, but I don't want to rush it. I am fine physically and mentally as I am playing more often with Inter," concluded the midfielder.
