Bolton Wanderers forward El Hadji Diouf is reported to have decided to quit the club, even if they manage to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
The 27-year-old Senegal international has been with the Trotters since the summer of 2004, following an unsuccessful spell with Liverpool.
However, he now appears to have his heart on a fresh challenge, having scored seven times this season while also collecting a massive 16 yellow cards.
Diouf told told L'Observateur: "If Bolton stay in the top division or not, I will not stay next year for sure.
"Teams are interested in me, an agreement between three parties is the only thing missing and I will leave in peace.
"Whether Bolton remain in the league or not, it is my last year. But it does not prevent me from respecting and admiring Bolton.
"For the moment, four or five clubs are very interested. They come to see me every weekend, but I do not want to reveal their identities.
"My priority is to stay in England, but Spanish and Italian clubs are also following me."
