The 36-year-old has been without a permanent club since leaving Fluminense in September 2015, but has featured in several charity games and sponsored events since.
There were rumours the former Blaugrana wizard would retire from the beautiful game, but his brother and agent, Roberto de Assis, has now insisted the Brazilian wants one last challenge.
"The project is to play in 2017," he told Uruguayan website Ovacion Digital.
"After a quiet year in which we had the opportunity to fly around the world, travel, see other countries we did not know, to be with people, to feel their affection, that's the idea.
"The 2017 project is to play again and see how things happen. We think he will play in a team that is in the Libertadores (the South American Champions League).
"I spoke to some intermediaries (about Nacional, the 2016 Uruguayan champions), but things are still very quiet. When something official arrives, the club will be able to speak."
