Frederic Kanoute has signed a two-year extension at Seville through to 2012.
The 31-year-old striker, born in France but a Mali international, said he may end his career when his new contract runs out.
"Let's see if then I have energy to play after 2012. You don't know but at the moment I'm thinking that I might be retiring here," said Kanoute, who joined Sevilla from Tottenham in 2005.
"I wanted to stay here. The club too. It showed its interest in me staying here. So the two parties are very happy."
Kanoute, who has also played for West Ham and Lyon, has enjoyed his greatest success with Sevilla, helping the team win the UEFA Cup and the European Super Cup in 2006, and the UEFA Cup, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup the following year.
Earlier this year, Kanoute, a practicing Muslim, was fined by the Spanish football federation for revealing a T-shirt expressing support for Palestine during a match.
The striker is currently in a rich vein of form, having scored nine goals in the past seven league matches. With 10 games of the season remaining, Sevilla is third with 54 points, 15 behind leader Barcelona.
