Johannesburg - Out-of-favour Bafana Bafana striker Benni McCarthy has refused to rule out a move away from Premier League side Blackburn Rovers.
The former Porto hitman has been linked with a switch back to Portugal or Spain after reports surfaced that the 31-year-old has fallen out with Rovers boss Sam Allardyce.
Although the Cape Town-born player has denied these rumours, he says he is open to offers of a possible move.
"I don't listen much to what is said in the newspapers. I have my own character, but nobody can doubt my professionalism in the game," he told Goal.com.
"I have scheduled a meeting with the club and I'm open to anything. A lot can happen but I do not want to think too far ahead.
"Some clubs have asked about me and that is normal because they are familiar with me. They (Spain or Portugal) would make good destination if I eventually decide to leave the Premier League," he said.
The former Celta Vigo striker went on to say that he was left frustrated by not holding down a regular starting place last season.
"I am not too satisfied because I perhaps should have had more opportunities than my other team-mates.
"But it is a decision that the manager makes and I accept what he says," he concluded.
