Russian international midfielder Andrei Arshavin has again hinted that he will be leaving his club Zenit St Petersburg this year. Tottenham and Man City are interested.
"It all comes down to one thing - for Zenit to set a realistic price," Arshavin told Sport Express. "If they do that, I will, of course, leave. [If not] I will remain a Zenit player, but only on paper. Next year I don't want to play here and I will not be playing here.
"That is not an ultimatum, rather a natural reaction to what has happened. I always believed we could come to an agreement on good terms and I could leave the team in a proper manner.
"I have conducted myself reasonably, but the longer things go on the less faith I have. It looks like some kind of conflict is unavoidable, although, as God is my witness, I more than anyone don't want that to happen.
"Everyone tells me that I have won things having stayed at Zenit, in particular the Super Cup. But this isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is a feeling of inner fulfilment, and I don't feel that at all. I also feel that my team-mates are not getting any pleasure out of playing with me by seeing me in this way."
