Djibril Cisse is eying a move back to Marseille after admitting playing in the Championship with QPR appears "complicated".
Rangers' two-year spell in the Premier League came to an end on Sunday with a goalless draw at Reading and Cisse, whose loan spell at Qatari club Al Gharafa expires at the end of the season, is already talking up a move away from Loftus Road.
The 32-year-old told France Football: "Given how it has gone for them from a sporting viewpoint, (a return to QPR) does seem complicated."
Cisse would relish a switch to Marseille, a club he joined on loan from Liverpool in 2006 before making the move permanent.
"It would be a dream to go back," said Cisse, "or play for any club which can make me shine."
Cisse is hoping a move back to Europe can enhance his chances of representing France at the World Cup finals next summer.
"I have Les Bleus in my heart," he said.
"If I'm in a good team and if I do a good job I think it's possible.
"I have a crazy mind and when I have a goal in mind I do everything to achieve it."
Rose is a contender for Sunderland's Player of the Year after he put in a series of impressive displays during a season-long loan at the Stadium of Light.
The 22-year-old has made 27 appearances for the Black Cats after slotting in to the first XI at left-back and opened his scoring account for the club in their 6-1 defeat at Aston Villa.
Rose says he will make a decision on his future at the end of the season and he has hinted recently that he would like to stay at the Wearside club.
But Spurs boss Villas-Boas has told Rose he wants him back at White Hart Lane next term.
"A permanent move is impossible because we have great expectations for the player," Villas-Boas said earlier in the season. "He has a bright future. We appreciate what he's been doing there and it's been a great experience.
"He's been extremely well managed. We can't give away a player of his quality."
Left-back has been a problem area for the Portuguese this term. Villas-Boas has often played Kyle Naughton and Jan Vertonghen as makeshift left-backs as Benoit Assou-Ekotto has struggled at times to regain the consistency he had shown in previous seasons.
It remains to be seen whether Rose will want to come back to Spurs,
This is the fourth time Rose has been out on loan and he has only made eight Premier League starts for the north London club since he signed from Leeds in 2007.
