Slightly off-topic, but here goes:
BERLIN, July 12 - Youri Djorkaeff, one of the stars of France's Euro 2000-winning side, may not rejoin German first division team Kaiserslautern after the summer break.
The 32-year-old midfielder, scorer of two crucial goals for France in Euro 2000, says he wants to leave Germany's 1998 champions after only one season.
"There are constant offers. That's obvious after Euro 2000. But from who, that's a secret," Djorkaeff's brother, Denis, told the Sport Bild newspaper.
Team mate Andreas Buck doubted Djorkaeff would be back. "I wouldn't bet on it. No-one knows if he's coming back at all," Buck said. The speculation has earned Djorkaeff the nickname "Phantom". He is due back from a holiday in Greece on July 24, but recently told journalists he wanted to extend his break by a week.
Kaiserslautern chairman Juergen Friedrich insisted Djorkaeff would rejoin the team. "How often do I have to say it? Youri Djorkaeff will join us on July 24," he said.

Hope he leaves Kaiser for a good team.
