Radostin Kishishev has told League One leaders Brighton that he would be happy to pen a new contract.
The 36-year-old, who has made over 550 career appearances, will see his current deal expire in the summer.
He is, however, open to extending his stay on the South Coast, as he is keen to put his retirement plans on hold.
The Seagulls offered him a 12-month deal last year in order to obtain his services and Kishishev hopes similar terms will be tabled over the coming weeks.
The Bulgarian told the club's official website: "My future depends on the gaffer and the chairman. If they think I am good enough to stay another year, perhaps I will consider that one.
"If they say no, then I will probably finish playing football because I don't want to move anywhere else.
"I have already taken on the challenge with Brighton and I am really happy at the moment, especially in the way that we play.
Style
"That is very important for me because if I played for another club where they just kick the ball into the channels and fight, I don't think I would keep playing.
"But, the style we play here suits me and I am very happy. I am also very happy to be playing again."
Kishishev will be hoping to turn out in the Championship with Brighton next season, with Gus Poyet's side having opened up a seven-point lead at the third tier summit.
On their impressive form, he added: "Mentally we have changed a lot as a team.
"At the beginning of the season we all remember the close games we won, where we were under pressure for periods in the game, but we are different now.
"We are so high in confidence that every team that we play against look like they are 1-0 down from the dressing room, walking out onto the pitch."
Cracking to see.
