Hugo Almeida, on the books of Werder Bremen since joining from Porto in 2006, has been strongly tipped to leave the club, following the signing of Marcelo Moreno.

The arrival of the Bolivian striker, who signed from Shakhtar Donetsk, has pushed Almeida down the pecking order and the club are reportedly looking to cash in on him.

But Almeida, who has made 20 appearances for Portugal at senior level, has made it clear he wants to prove his worth at the German club.

"I will only leave if it is a good offer for me and Werder Bremen," Almeida told GLOBOESPORTE.

"If it is to go to a club that only think of avoiding relegation, then I do not want. It would be a step back in my career."

The 25-year-old frontman stressed that he is not worried about competition from Moreno, saying, "I do not look at it as a fight. I only think of my work and doing my best.

"Then, the coach decides who gets to play."
