Djibril Cisse says he would play for free in order to reach 100 goals in the French Ligue 1.
The former France international, now 38, has 96 Ligue 1 goals in Ligue 1.
Cisse announced his retirement from football in 2015 due to injury.
“You know how it is with goalscorers,” Cisse told SoFoot .
“We love goals, we love hitting milestones; 25, 50, 75… for me, it’s the landmark of 100 that haunts me, I’ve been stuck on 96 since I stopped.
“I am missing four goals and it gets to me, it drives me crazy!
“I want to come back to Ligue 1 to get them. If a club takes me, I can get them in two or three months.
“I’m pretty stubborn; when I have a goal, I do everything to reach it.
“I’m ready to come back and play for free, without pay, so there isn’t much of a risk for them. For the moment, I’m not in advanced talks with anybody but I hope that clubs will appear.”
Cisse left Ligue 1 at the end of the 2014-15 season following a brief spell with Bastia, which brought six league goals in 27 appearances.
While he also added 24 to his tally during a productive spell at Marseille between 2006 and 2008, the majority of Cisse’s Ligue 1 goals came at his first club, Auxerre.
He bagged an impressive 70 league goals in 128 league appearances for Auxerre, earning himself a move to Liverpool in 2004 after twice topping the division’s scoring charts.
In a colourful club career, Cisse also turned out for the likes of Panathinaikos, Sunderland, Lazio, Queens Park Rangers and Kuban Krasnodar.
He won the 2002-03 Coupe de France with Auxerre, a trio of trophies – FA Cup, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup – with Liverpool, and a Greek league and cup double with Panathinaikos.
Cisse also scored nine goals in 41 games for France, and was a member of their victorious 2003 Confederations Cup squad
