Holland winger Eljero Elia has announced his intention to leave Juventus.
The 25-year-old, who moved to Stadio delle Alpi from Hamburg for £8m in August, has only made four appearances for the Serie A champions.
Elia told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad: "I want to leave Juventus. I want to enjoy playing football again. I remained quiet all year and was always positive towards the club and the team, but I never got a chance to prove my worth.
"I didn't play much and consequently miss out on Euro 2012. It's fair to say this season has been a failure. It's really hurt me, but I've become stronger mentally.
"I'm 25 now and I still have a long career ahead of me. I came from far, but I will have to start all over again."
The news of Elia's likely departure could interest Newcastle United, who reportedly attempted to sign the player on a loan deal during the January transfer window.
