Roma right-back Cicinho has admitted he is looking to leave the Serie A club in the January transfer window.
The 31-year-old has continually been linked with a move away from the Italian capital after failing to impose himself in the squad under new coach Luis Enrique.
Cicinho has made just four appearances this season and revealed his desire to leave the Eternal City after watching Monday's 1-1 draw against Juventus from the bench.
"It is true that I want to leave Roma," he told Globoesporte. "I have not spoken with the board yet because I will wait for the last two games of the calendar year to talk to them.
"I have had enough. A lot of things have happened. The coach decided to play someone out of position. I am done here."
A move back to Brazil has been mooted as a strong possibility, but Cicinho confessed he is in the dark about his future.
"I do not know yet if I will return to Brazil," he noted. "I have learned of the interest of Flamengo and Corinthians through the press, but my agent has not yet said anything to me about it."
Cicinho, who joined Roma from Real Madrid in 2007, had loan spells at Sao Paulo and Villarreal in the last two seasons.
