Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann will make up his mind on whether to stay in London or move to Borussia Dortmund in the next few days.
Dortmund have made the 38-year-old an offer to return to Germany and, although it would mean a significant reduction in wages, the lure of first-team football may be enough to tempt Lehmann back to the Westphalian club.
Another deciding factor could be Germany coach Joachim Loew's insistence that only players playing regular first-team football will be considered for Euro 2008 selection.
'Since this is a difficult decision which affects my family above all, I need to consider and discuss a few things,' he told Germany's Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
'I cannot name a definite date (for my decision), but I think it will be within a few days.'
Germany goalkeeping coach Andreas Kopke is certainly pushing for Lehmann to return to the Bundesliga.
He said: 'From a sporting point of view, it would be desirable to have him playing regularly again.
'In Dortmund, he would have plenty of opportunities in the second half of the season.'
