Shaleum Logan has opened the door to a possible permanent move to Aberdeen.
The 26-year old defender had an impressive second half of the season with the Dons after joining on loan from Brentford in January and says he could be persuaded to return to Pittodrie when his Bees contract expires this summer.
"I'm not saying it's goodbye," the former Manchester City and Tranmere Rovers main said in the Daily Record.
"I'm not saying I will be signing either but if the deal is right for me and for Aberdeen there's every chance I could be back here next season.
"I would be happy if that was to happen.
"There's not been an offer but the manager has said he wants to sign me and we've been talking.
"I have a few options but I've not spoken to any other clubs. Aberdeen will be a massive factor in any decision I make but we'll see what happens."
