Palmeiras playmaker Jorge Valdivia says that he would welcome a return to European football, despite his previous ill-fated spells at Rayo Vallecano and Servette.

Palmeiras playmaker Jorge Valdivia has said that he would welcome a return to European football.

The 30-year-old has plied his trade in South America since leaving Servette in 2005.

"I would love to return to Europe, but in a better situation than before," Valdivia told Le Segunda.

"I played at a team (Rayo Vallecano) that were in the [Spanish] second division. When I arrived there was one manager, and then the next one didn't want me or any foreigners.

"Then I went to Switzerland to play for Servette and the club broke, which is not normal in Switzerland. So my experiences in Europe were rare."

Valdivia has been capped 55 times by Chile at senior international.
