Kuyt, 32, said clubs from England, Holland and Spain had inquired about a move. The Holland international still has a year remaining on his Liverpool contract, but seems likely to leave after a season in which his opportunities were limited.

"There are many clubs who are interested,'' he told NUsport in Holland. However, he ruled out a return to former side Feyenoord, saying they would be unable to afford his wages.

"I have had several conversations with Feyenoord, but we were unable to agree,'' he added.

"I did not want on my conscience that Feyenoord would have financial problems because of my salary. There were too many doubts on both sides. I've thought about it, but it is not the time to return.''
