ROME, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Lazio striker Miroslav Klose has revealed that he could go back to Germany at the end of this season.

The German international joined Lazio from Bayern Munich on 2011 and his contract will expire in 2014, and he could choose not to renew it.

"Returning to Germany could be a great opportunity for me," he said. "I can imagine finishing my career there."

The 35-year-old is the only player to have scored at least five goals in consecutive World Cups, as well as the only player to have scored at least four in three different tournaments, but the prospect for him to go to next year's World Cup is not optimistic.
