The Dutchman, 32, would like to write a lucrative final chapter in his incredible career by moving to the Premier League.
And Seedorf, the only man to win the Champions League with three different clubs, will have a good chance for a closer look at English football when he lines up against Portsmouth in the Uefa Cup on Thursday.
"I would love to play in the Premier League," said the 32-year-old. "Which player wouldn't? It's one of the best leagues in the world. I'm happy at AC Milan but I never say never.
"The development of the Premier League over the last five years has been incredible. The football is exciting with much more quality. I love to watch it on television."
With Arsenal desperately short of experience in midfield, Arsene Wenger could view Seedorf as a shrewd short-term move, while a number of other sides will also be alerted by his potential availability.
The midfielder, who began his career at Ajax before moving to Real Madrid and Inter Milan, is not as mobile as in his peak. But he proved in Milan's 2006-07 Champions League success that he can still perform at the very highest level.
Milan's midfield options will soon swelled by the arrival of David Beckham, who will join the Serie A giants on loan in January.
With Seedorf, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Massimo Ambrossini and Emerson at the club, coach Carlo Ancelotti faces a balancing act to preserve harmony among so many celebrated players.
And Seedorf has already claimed Beckham will have to get used to life on the bench at the San Siro.
"The first goal is for him to get fit and in the best shape possible," said Seedorf. "Training with a club like AC Milan will definitely improve his game even if it's only from a training point of view. But I don't know if he'll play, that's another thing completely."
