Werder Bremen striker Miroslav Klose insists he will not leave the club during the January transfer window.
The 28-year-old Germany international is contracted to the Bundesliga leaders until the end of next season, but talks over a new deal have stalled.
Klose, who was the leading goalscorer in the 2006 World Cup, may be allowed to leave in the summer, should no deal be agreed.
Bremen will not risk losing the prolific striker on a free transfer, and both parties are eager to find a resolution.
"I want all of this behind me as quickly as possible so I can make plans," said the former Kaiserslautern frontman.
"The start of the second half of the season would be too early (to move), though."
Bayern Munich became the latest side to register their interest in Klose, although he seems intent on moving abroad, if no deal can be struck with Werder.
"If I move, then only five clubs would come into the equation," he added from Werder's winter training camp in Belek, Turkey.
"I am open to offers from Spain, England or Italy."
Juventus lead the race for his signature, but several Serie A clubs may provide competition while Bayern are considered the only other club able to tempt him to stay in the Bundesliga.
The German champions could also provide an ideal replacement for Klose - if he were to leave - in Claudio Pizarro.
The former Bremen striker's contract expires in the summer and negotiations with the Bavarians have broken down.
However, like Klose, the Peruvian has hinted at a move to Serie A, with Roma a preferred destination.
"It would be a dream to play alongside Francesco Totti, while I am sure it would be fantastic to live in a large city like Milan or Rome," he told Italy's Corriere dello Sport.
"As a boy, I supported Internazionale and Italian football has always been a topic in my family."
