Chelsea star Yuri Zhirkov says he has not opened talks with Dynamo Moscow about a move back to Russia.[LNB] The 27-year-old Russia international was strongly linked with a switch to Dynamo and reports claimed he had already met with the capital outfit.[LNB]But the left-sided player says he has not talked with them, although he admits he is far from settled at Stamford Bridge.[LNB]"I haven't talked to anyone from Dynamo," he told Sovetsky Sport.[LNB]Asked if he would like to return to Russia, he said: "It's hard to tell. On the one hand, I am a player of Chelsea, a club with rich traditions, and I will make everything possible to establish myself there. [LNB]"On the another hand, during my two years in London I could not boast regular performances and if there were good offers from Russia, why not consider them?[LNB]"However, it would be a difficult choice to make. Now there is nothing concrete and there's, actually, nothing to talk about. [LNB]"My situation is not so severe. Though, I wouldn't lie, Chelsea is the primary option for me, while Russia is the secondary one."
