Koln star Lukas Podolski has moved to confirm reports that he could leave the club in January.
The player, whose contract expires in June 2013, is looking for a new challenge and Koln could be forced to cash in on him in January.
Podolski admits he is disappointed by the lack of ambition shown by the Billy Goats.
“I was told the plan was to get back into Europe here, but we have failed and of course I have to ask myself why,” Podolski told Die Welt.
“Whenever I am with the national team, I always notice people shaking their heads when yet another story emerges from Cologne which has nothing to do with sport.”
The Germany international believes he can still play football at the highest level.
“My family and friends may live here and I know every corner of the city, but if I am in top condition, then I think I could fit into any side in Europe.
“I am not forced to stay only in Cologne.”
