Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has suggested he will look to move on in the summer after losing his first-team place this season.
The 31-year-old Brazilian has admitted his frustration at starting just five Premier League games for Arsene Wenger's side this season.
Gilberto has been forced to play second fiddle to the first-choice central midfield pairing of Mathieu Flamini and Cesc Fabregas and has admitted he will seek a move at the end of the season if he remains a bit-part player.
The experienced midfielder and former captain joined the Gunners in 2002 and has made over 225 appearances.
"At the moment I cannot see any future for me at the club," he told The Guardian.
"I will see what will happen in the next few months and until the end (of the season), if I will get the chance to come back in the team. If not, I will see what I am going to do at the end.
"It's been painful for me and to stay another season like this would kill me. I will sit down with Arsene and see what we can do to manage the situation.
"I am very calm and I'm being professional as I've always been.
"We'll see at the end of the season what is going to happen."
