But now the 28-year-old insists he is fully focused on helping Blackburn maintain their Premier League status and will then sort out any contract or move after that.
"I think at the moment it is a big difficult to talk about my future as at the end of the season I am at the end of my contract," he told Sky Sports News.
"We are not in a position to hold talks as we don't know where we are going to end up, I would love to stay here, I am very committed.
"There has obviously been a lot of talks [in the press], but with me my mind its Blackburn and that is where I see myself."
