Joey Barton is already in talks with clubs about a move away from Newcastle United.
The Daily Mail says Barton was in talks with a Premier League club, believed to be Aston Villa or Tottenham, while Celtic have also initiated talks with the player, though that seems an unlikely move.
He is looking for a club that can propel him back into the England set-up and give him a shot at next summer's European Championship.
Sources close to the player say while he will listen to all suitors, his decision will not be financially motivated but for football reasons alone.
