Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso has expressed an interest in playing in the United States or China, German football magazine kicker has reported.

Alonso, 33, told kicker earlier this week that his future is uncertain beyond the end of the season, when his contract with the Bundesliga champions expires.

The former Liverpool star said he had not ruled out remaining in Munich, but stressed he was "not wasting any thoughts on it at the moment."

Speaking to the same publication on Thursday, Alonso added: "If the club's happy with me, I could very well imagine staying here for a bit longer."

However, kicker said that the ex-Spain international had also indicated that he would otherwise be tempted by the prospect of playing in Major League Soccer or China when he leaves the Allianz Arena.
