Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski admits he has limited options if he wants to return to Germany in January.
Podolski has made it clear he's frustrated over his current situation at Arsenal and is leaning towards quitting the Gunners during the winter transfer window.
A return to FC Koln has been mentioned, though Podolski admits the club's current financial status means such a move is unlikely.
"At the moment the conditions at FC are simply not there," he said.
"I hope, however, that the way FC continue to move up maybe I'll play there in the future. I would wear the badge on my chest with pleasure and with pride.
"I can absolutely rule out ever going to Leverkusen, Gladbach or Dusseldorf. I'd never do that out of respect for FC fans."
