That's the interview he did a couple of weeks ago. Below is the link to that interview and it shows on the date of the article that it was two weeks ago.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65977176Although I think he will sign (I don't know, just think he will), this interview was posted on here at the time and don't agree it means he's said he's coming.
He said he'd like to return "one day".
When talking about spending time with his family, he was clearly saying it in the context of being with them while he works out where he's going to play.
Of course it's been reported he wants to join us partly to be close to his family, but that's not what he meant in this interview.
