Anderlecht star Lucas Biglia has revealed he could leave the Belgian giants this month, but only for a bigger club.
The Argentine international has been linked with a host of clubs including Real Madrid and Inter Milan - although the strongest interest is emanating from the Premier League with Arsenalreportedly leading the chase.
Up to half-a-dozen English clubs are thought to be in the reckoning, and Biglia is open to his future options.
"I can leave for €8million in the current market, and that is quite a lot of money - but I agreed to this transfer fee myself so I can't really complain," he said.
"There are clubs ready to pay that amount but they are not better than Anderlecht so for now I focus on this club. I want to at least be playing in Europe.
"I think we could really do something in the Champions League too this year. So there are many challenges left here."
Kouyate
Meanwhile, Biglia's team-mate Cheikhou Kouyate - also linked with a move to England, has announced he is likely to stay put.
"I've gotten a lot of questions about my future lately. So I've decided to stay. The club did a lot for me and I am doing something back now," he said.
"There are also certain players who convinced me to stay for one more year."

Bargain. Get him in!
Isn't Pjanic an attacking midfielder? Don't we have enough of those already....
fudge sake, same as Joe Allen, have you lot just upgraded Jovetic to being the best player on the planet ? It's like a chinese whisper
yeah Jovetic is good (starts off normal and an accurate description) then....
Jovetic is really good
he's excellent
one of the hottest prospects in world football
amazing player
triffic
Get a fudging grip.
nah, jovetic's name has been doing the rounds for yeeeeaarrs. the main reason why it wasnt household is cause he never left fiorentina , they never got to a big enough stage to showcase his talent and he got a massive injury...then there was the worry of how he would be after his injury
but i agree, if anyone is saying he is going to be a raging success without seeing him kick a ball her then they are jumping the gun abit. plus he does have quite a few flaws......
but he is like really talented...as in top class talent on his own but with other top class player could make a world class team
Anyone know why we're not being linked with Kaka + Ca$h for Modric ?
Seems an obvious proposal to me.
Slightly O/T Was just thinking if HR was still here we'd have the following by now:
Carroll
Adam
Cole (joe)
Were still waiting on a work permit for Doumbia right?
Could always be risky and get "new Modric " in, Mateo Kovačić
Were still waiting on a work permit for Doumbia right?
dafuq?
Early summer this picture appeared from ITK's with the general consensus being that the guy at the car door was Seydou Doumbia in the car park at WHL. Of course it turned out to be complete gonads.
Give it 3 or 4 pages and I bet this lot could turn Andy Carroll into a world class talent.
Still, doesn't change the fact that Jovetic is a great player. Don't know why you feel otherwise.
