Nigeria star Stephen Worgu says he wants to leave his Sudanese club El Merreikh after only one year.
He was recently sentenced to 40 lashes and a fine for drink-driving, a charge which he denied.
But he said that his desire to move is motivated by football reasons, not his personal difficulties in Sudan.
"I think I have fulfilled one ambition of playing outside Nigeria and the next step is to take my game to Europe," Worgu told BBC Sport.
He joined the Khartoum giants in October 2008 for US$2.6m, in one of the biggest transfers in African history.
But after spending only a season in Omdurman in Northern Sudan, the young striker is hankering on a move to Europe.
"Already there are offers but in January we will consider the perfect offer for both player and club," Worgu said.
"It is true I have had to deal with a lot of things but nothing compares to the love and affection showered on me by the fans, players and officials of El Merreikh.
"Terrible things have been written about me for coming to Sudan, while playing here and even presently.
"There are several things which go beyond what people see and read about but importantly money has never been a motive in my life."
Until a deal is sorted out Worgu says he is concentrating on playing for El Merreikh - including winning the Sudanese Cup final against their great rivals Al Hilal.
