The Russian striker was left out of Sevilla squad for recent two matches against Espanyol and Fenerbahce, as he could return to his home country.

"I know that several Russian clubs show interest in my services", said Kerzhakov to Sport Express.

"I would say once more that I want to have constant practice so that I would be able to defend Russia's interests at the European championship."

Dinamo Moscow are said to have the most serious claims of acquiring 25-year-old striker.

"As I said two weeks ago, any Russian club would be glad to see Alexander Kerzhakov in their squads", comments Dinamo head coach Andrei Kobelev to Sport Express.

Premier Liga silver medalists Spartak also expressed their desire to acquire Kerzhakov.

"Alexander Kerzhakov is a player who deserves respect", said Stanislav Cherchesov.

"That is why the issue of his possible switch to the Russian league is very serious."

"However, I am not going to think about it ahead of UEFA Cup crunch game against Olympique de Marseille."
