Despite recently signing a new contract to keep him at Atlético Madrid until 2013, Diego Forlán> has admitted that he would relish a return to the Premier League.
The Uruguayan striker spent two years at Manchester United but failed to settle at Old Trafford, managing just 17 goals in 95 appearances for the Red Devils.
However, after moving to Spain with Villarreal, the 30-year-old became one of the most prolific strikers in Europe, averaging a goal every other game for the Yellow Submarine before joining Los Colchoneros for €21 million in 2007.
"England, and the Premier League, gave me many things and I thank them for that," Forlán told www.uefa.com.
"If I have a chance to return, I would like to go, but I feel I have nothing to prove there."
Should Forlán decide to come back to England there would be a long queue of clubs waiting to talk to him, including Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
