AC Milan's veteran goalkeeper Christian Abbiati has revealed that he is pondering retirement.
The 36-year-old's contract at the San Siro expires at the end of the season, and he is considering hanging up his gloves if a new deal fails to materialise.
"Will I stay another season? It's normal at the age of 37 that some injury problems will catch up with you," Goal.com quotes him as saying.
"We train every day and even the younger players have problems. I'm available though and it's not written that I always have be the first choice.
"I'm available like I said. Obviously if the club says enough is enough, then that's it. I'd say that if I don't a sign a new contract here, it's 90% sure that I'll quit playing."
Abbiati has made more than 300 appearances for Milan since joining in 1998, winning three Serie A titles and one Champions League gong with the club.
