Livorno keeper Marco Amelia continues to insist that he could move to Liverpool or Arsenal.
The Italian shot-stopper only recently extended his contract with the Tuscan side until 2011 but could still be sold if the right deal is on the table.
"The situation is this one," he told Corriere dello Sport. "My market position has only two options - one takes me to England, the other one takes me to Russia.
"Is there no place in Italy for Marco Amelia? It's evident - the answer is 'no'."
Amelia believes Liverpool could make a renewed bid while Arsenal are more likely to follow up their interest in the summer due to the doubts surrounding Jens Lehmann's future.
"Who wants me?" he continued. "Liverpool, you said and it's true. They will come back for me.
"Arsenal may be a topic for June.
"The other immediate talk might be referred to Spartak Moscow.
"I thank them but it's clear that Moscow would eventually be a different choice.
"What I know is I earn in two years [in Russia] what I'd earn in five years in Italy and then I could come back and go to Roma. It would be an idea.
"But if I leave Livorno, I'd like to make a step forward due to the fact that I'm playing in the UEFA Cup here.
"I'm thinking do I leave now or in June? I don't rule out leaving but maybe in June I'll see that still only teams from abroad want me."
