A return to the French Ligue 1 is an option for Mido, but not with bottom club Arles, according to the Egyptian’s representative in France.

Reports in France claimed that the unattached forward is pondering a switch to the relegation candidates, but the rumor was quickly denied.

“Mido is not interested in a move to Arles,” Bernard Collignon, Mido’s agent in France said.

“No offense to the club, but he is looking for a team with a higher standing.

“For him, the French league is a good opportunity and he will be willing to listen to any interesting offer.”

Mido spent an impressive season with Marseille in 2003-2004 before joining Italian Serie A giants Roma in 2004 for a fee of €6million.

The 27-year-old is targeted by old club Zamalek, who claimed recently that a deal has been agreed over a winter transfer.
