Patrice Evra has no plans to return to England as the former Manchester United left back prepares to make his return to football next month.
Evra, 36, was sacked by Marseille over his kung-fu kick on a fan and is fielding offers for his next move.
Turkish giants Galatasaray and Fenerbache have put their names forward as options for Evra, although he is yet to make a final decision on his next club.

But sources close to the player say coming back to England is not a consideration for the former France international as it stands.
Marseille announced the termination of Evra’s contract last month after his extraordinary attack on a supporter before a Europa League game against Portugal’s Vitoria Guimaraes.
He is suspended from European action until the end of June but is free to continue playing in domestic competitions and has not announced his retirement.

Last month, agent Federico Pastorello said: ‘Obviously he’s not feeling great at the moment but his career will not end here, he doesn’t want to leave the game in this way.’
Evra spent nine hugely successful years at United, winning five titles and the Champions League.
He then departed the club for Juventus in 2014 and before heading to Marseille this year.
