The 26-year-old told Match TV: "It seems there are clubs interested in Europe; in England, Stoke City, and Germany. From the latter there is even an offer to move this winter. I need to think.

"There is an offer [to move in January from a German team] that I do not want to name. That's where I'm ready to go, even this winter."
