Kaiserslautern chairman Thomas Gries has outlined his desire to bring Miroslav Klose back to the club following his exit from Lazio.
The 38-year-old left the Serie A outfit at the end of last season after his contract expired, and Gries is hopeful that a return to one of his earliest clubs will be enough to entice him to drop down to the German second tier.
Klose launched his career during a five-year stay at Kaiserslautern, scoring 52 goals in 147 games before moving to Werder Bremen and then Bayern Munich.
"It would be absolutely stupid of me if I didn't at least try. It would be like hitting the jackpot for Kaiserslautern. We have got to give it a try," Gries told SWR television.
Klose went on to become Germany's highest ever scorer with 71 goals in 137 appearances, a record 16 of which came at World Cups.
