EXCLUSIVE | Goal Australia understands the former Victory winger could be set for a return to AAMI Park after three frustrating years in Europe

Melbourne Victory could go back to the future again with coach Kevin Muscat set to meet with New Zealand international Marco Rojas this week.

Rojas has been released by Stuttgart after a tough three seasons with the German club and Goal Australia understands the 24-year-old has a meeting scheduled with Muscat to potentially discuss a return to AAMI Park.

Stuttgart's youth team Twitter account confirmed Rojas departure on Monday.

"The contract with Marco Rojas was terminated by mutual agreement," Stuttgart's statement read.

"All the best for the future Marco!"

If Victory were to sign Rojas, he would become the second forward Muscat has brought back to the A-League club this pre-season after securing James Troisi's signature at the start of the month.

Rojas played for Victory in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 A-League campaigns when Muscat was an assistant coach at the club, with the New Zealand winger winning the Johnny Warren Medal in his second season with the Big V after scoring 15 goals in 27 matches.

That award-winning season saw Rojas join Stuttgart on a four-year contract but he failed to make a first-team appearance during his time at the club.

Rojas' stint at Stuttgart got off to a disastrous start when he broke his foot in a pre-season friendly ahead of his first year in Germany.

The tricky winger played four matches for Stuttgart's reserve side, while loan deals at Greuther Furth and Swiss club FC Thun yielded three and 46 senior appearances, respectively.

Rojas has made 25 appearances for New Zealand's national team and would become Victory's fourth import if he was to join Muscat's squad.
