Former Bolton striker Jared Borgetti has revealed he is eyeing a
return to the Mexican international setup after signing for Cruz
Azul.
Borgetti, who spent an underwhelming spell with the Trotters in the
Premiership, has completed a move back to his homeland from Al
Ittihad after agreeing to cancel his contract with the Saudi
Arabian side.
Now Mexico's all-time record goalscorer has set his sights on an
international return under new boss Hugo Sanchez, after initially
retiring following the World Cup finals in Germany over the
summer.
"I said that I wasn't going to play any more for the national team
but now I would like to have the chance to retire from duty after
the Copa America or the Gold Cup," said Borgetti.
"I know that I am not going to be in the plans of the coach for the
next World Cup so if I have a good performance at Cruz Azul I
expect to be recalled to the national team for these
competitions."
Borgetti has also spoken of his delight at returning to Mexico
after failing to settle at both Bolton and Al Ittihad.
"I am very happy to come back home and most of all because such an
important team as Cruz Azul is interested in me.
"I am very happy for having the chance to play in Mexican football
again, I missed my country a lot after being in Bolton and Al
Ittihad."
