Fenerbahçe star Roberto Carlos just signed a new deal with the club earlier this year, but he may not finish his career with the Canaries as previously thought. Reports Tuesday indicate the Brazilian legend has left the door open for a possible return to Spain.

Roberto Carlos just signed a new, one-year deal with Fenerbahçe in January. It is believed that the star will retire with the Canaries and take on a possible coaching role with the club. However, reports Tuesday say that Carlos is monitoring a possible shakeup at a former club for a potential return.

Carlos says if former president Florentino Perez comes back to Real Madrid, he may reunite with him in Spain. "If Florentino comes and says ’Roberto, come back,' I will have to think about it and talk about it. I have never said I won’t come back," he told Spain’s Cope Radio.

The defender played for Real Madrid from 1996-2007 before joining Fener on a two-year deal. The Spanish club will elect a new president this summer, with Perez emerging as a leading candidate to lead the club once more.

Real "is the team of my life and I would be lying if I said that I don’t want to go back, but we must wait and see the people who come back with Florentino and what their plans are," Carlos said. "If Perez is elected, I think it would be necessary for me to speak with them. If you have the chance to play football at the highest level again, I think you should."

Captain Alex de Souza's injury has left Spanish coach Luis Aragones pondering about his starting eleven for this week's Bursaspor match. Papers have begun listing the Fener boss' alternatives. It looks as if Luis Aragones may even start with two forwards, Dani Güiza & Semih Şentürk.

Fenerbahçe's no. 10 Alexsandro de Souza is undoubtedly an indispensable player for the Yellow Canaries squad as he has scored more than a hundred of goals for the club. But the Brazilian playmaker's injury against Kocaelispor last weekend will definitely leave him out for this weekend's match and possibly make him miss the following week's action too.

Alex's injury thus forces Luis Aragones to change his tactical formation. The sports press in Turkey have begun elaborating different alternatives for the Spanish coach. There's almost a unanimous decision concerning the strikeforce in the starting eleven.

It was constantly written that it's almost impossible to field two strikers in front of an Alex de Souza playing in the AMC (attacking midfielder - centre) position. However, without Alex in the squad Hürriyet, Vatan and Lig TV have wrote that Luis Aragones is very likely to field both Dani Güiza & Semih Şentürk in his starting eleven against Bursaspor.

On the other hand, Hürriyet also writes that if Deivid de Souza recovers in time for Friday evening's fixture, then he's the one most likely to replace the Fenerbahçe captain, and thus not Dani Güiza. Vatan in the meantime predicts that the Spanish coach will most definitely field Gökhan Emreciksin on the right flank, instead of Colin Kazım-Richards who he fielded last weekend.

According to Hürriyet and Vatan, both Emre Belözoğlu and Deniz Barış's places are almost certain in the starting eleven, forcing newly recovered Selçuk Şahin to sit on the bench. Meanwhile, Lig TV also puts forth the option of fielding Emre Belözoğlu in Alex de Souza's position.

No one knows for sure who Luis Aragones will field on Friday night, not even Aragones himself. But one thing's for sure, the Spanish coach has got a lot of thinking to do as the Bursaspor fixture approaches.
