Free agent Sebastien Chabal has said he is currently weighing up numerous options following last week's sudden exit from Racing.
The former France international joined the Paris outfit from Sale in 2009, but cut his stay short after falling out with Racing coach Pierre Berbizier.
Now the 34-year-old number eight says he has multiple offers from clubs all over the world.
"I have Australia, Japan, French clubs and England, which calls back," he told RMC radio.
"I spent five very nice seasons in England. I believe it has enriched me so why not try another destination. My priority is to have fun. France or abroad, I have no preference."
The 62-Test veteran had expected to end his career in Paris, but after disagreements with the club, the popular Frenchman says he'll now wait until next week to decide his future.
"We will know very quickly," said Chabal.
"I believe at the end of next week it will be sorted out because I want to play again this season."

Wouldn't mind seeing him at one of the weaker Premiership sides. He's entertaining on a good day and reasonably effective but he's too one-dimensional to play for a decent HC team or a decent S15 team. He was beaten off the pitch when he played Leinster (Nacewa managed to put him on his as when Chabal was running at full tilt - he's only going to meet bigger players) and from what I've seen, he hasn't improved since then.
I really hope Schmidt doesn't give him an offer.

It'd be cool if he got an Australian contract. He's still got a couple of hard seasons in him, he'd be awesome in Super rugby.
