Ghana captain Stephen Appiah says it will be a dream to return to Juventus in the Italian League.
The player locked in a dispute with Fernabahce in Turkey that is currently before FIFA has been linked with a return to the Italian giants and says he would love to go back.
I know that there have been offers from other countries but Juventus would be my absolute priority
"It would be a dream to return to Juventus," Appiah said.
"I know that I would be able to give more than I did in my first spell. I am more experienced and mature and I would be completely at Claudio Ranieri's disposal."
Appiah is also said to be attracting interest from some clubs in England but is in no doubt which move he would prefer even though he admits he is unaware of any contact between Juventus and his representatives.
"I don't know if there has been any contact and my agent hasn't told me anything, but I really hope to hear something.
"I know that there have been offers from other countries but Juventus would be my absolute priority."
Appiah spent two seasons at Juventus before a lack of first team opportunities effectively forced him out in 2005 to Turkey.
He is just recovering from an injury that has laid him off for eight months but says he is fit and ready to go again.
