Chelsea's Yuri Zhirkov says he is definitely not on his way back to Moscow.
The left-sided midfielder/defender is being linked with a move to Russian Premier League club Dynamo Moscow after joining Chelsea from rivals CSKA in July 2009.
Some reports suggested that Zhrikov had already met with Dynamo officials but he insists that he is not about to depart Stamford Bridge.
"I haven't talked to anyone from Dynamo," he told Sovetsky Sport.
Asked if he would like to return to Russia, he said: "It's hard to tell. On the one hand, I am a player of Chelsea, a club with rich traditions, and I will make everything possible to establish myself there.
"On the another hand, during my two years in London I could not boast regular performances and if there were good offers from Russia, why not consider them?
"However, it would be a difficult choice to make. Now there is nothing concrete and there's, actually, nothing to talk about.
"My situation is not so severe. Though, I wouldn't lie, Chelsea is the primary option for me, while Russia is the secondary one."
