Thiago Motta has admitted that a move to Atletico Madrid would be a "big challenge" for him - but concedes Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is in charge of his future.
The Italy international has made clear that he wants to leave the Ligue 1 champions this summer, with the Spanish side admitting having contact with him.
And Motta feels he deserves credit for being honest with the club and says he will hold further talks with them as he looks to orchestrate a move.
"The club knows my will," he told L'Equipe. "I want to leave. We talked and we will continue to speak until the end. It will be Nasser Al-Khelaifi who will decide my future,
"The most important thing is that I was sincere and honest. My wish is always to leave. I need to do new things for my career, to find the motivation to play at the highest level.
"I have something in my head and I know that it came out in the press.
"We talked about Atletico Madrid, it's a club where could do everything I haven't done at other clubs so far. It is a big challenge."
Motta, 32, would represent an ideal replacement for Mario Suarez, who left Atletico for Fiorentina as part of the deal which took Stefan Savic to the Vicente Calderon.
