It's a truth I will probably leave The Reds but it's still open to where I will go," he said. "I don't have exact offers. Two or three offers are from England and the same number from France. I haven't talked about the names and I don't want to.

When asked if Lens had made enquiries about his availability he added: "Yes they asked me, I talked with them, that's a truth but a deal? It's a long shot.

"I don't think it would be the best choice to return to Lens. We won the French league, the French Cup.

"And people there would expect more from me than I would have been able to fulfil. Perhaps it would be better to start somewhere from scratch.

"I have played in France, in England but I have never thought about playing in the Polish league.

"I know they were interested in the winter when I was recovering from injury and then I had chances to play so I had no reason to think about leaving.

"But in the summer I will weigh up all offers."
