"And I finished beautifully in Eindhoven.
It is my club, but a return as a player to PSV is no longer an option," he added.
PSV has since built its forward lineup around Ricardo Pepi and Alassane Pléa, reducing the need for a targetman like De Jong.
Coach Peter Bosz currently relies on these players to lead the attack.
Future Prospects
While retirement is not ruled out, De Jong has not yet confirmed such a decision.
If he regains full fitness, it is expected that interest from clubs abroad will increase, potentially leading to a new contract outside the Netherlands.
Meanwhile, other Eredivisie clubs are eyeing several notable free agents this summer.
