French talisman Zinedine Zidane, who brought the curtain down on a glittering career after a dramatic World Cup final against Italy, may return to the pitch as a professional player, German daily Bild reported.

The article claims that Zizou, as fans endearingly call him, plans to join once again David Beckham in the team of Los Angeles Galaxy in July. His contract will be for one year and a generous pay of more than EUR 10 M.

The contract will be concluded thanks to Adidas, the German sporting goods maker, which is ready to cover part of the expenses, Bild says.

The 34-year-old France captain retired from professional football after the World Cup final against Italy in July last year, turning from a hero to a villain in a moment of lunacy.

Zidane lost his temper in the last minutes of the extra time and got a red card for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the chest.

He's still a great player, i think he should return to playing like barthez has done. He still has alot of offer and if this turns out to be true LA Galazy will have a good team

*bites tongue regarding what I think of Zidane*

There's only one player per team that can be given exceptional player status, as far as i know, and besides, you don't come to MLS to be a millionaire. Most teams wouldn't even be able to afford to have an exceptional player on their team. Zidane, obviously he can still play, but if he wants to make a bit more money he'd be much better off going to Asia and playing for a team there, where he can make more.

Would love to see him in Galaxy, but my question is, why does he want to play for Galaxy, there are heaps of other teams, he could have played in A-League (that would be a great addition).

Oh well, he is a awsome player and still has talent in him, I never really liked him, but after WC, I am his fan.
