Various reports have linked him to the United States’ MLS, Saudi Pro League (SPL), and several European sides.

As he will be available for free, the 33-year-old could be one of the best value deals in football history.

According to London Standard, the team with the most concrete interest at the moment is MLS side San Diego FC.

A move to the United States will see the Belgian face off against Inter Miami's Lionel Messi, in a meeting of two of the world's greatest.

The MLS has been home to several stars winding down their careers. David Beckham was among the first to do so when he moved to LA Galaxy in 2007, with the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Frank Lampard, and David Villa all following suit.
