PA PhotosClint Dempsey's contract at Fulham is due to expire next summer.
Dempsey, 29, has been at Craven Cottage since 2007 but, with his contract due to expire next year, has signalled his intention to move on this summer and wants to test himself in the Champions League.
The USA international was left out of the club's pre-season training camp in Switzerland amid speculation about his future and will not feature in Fulham's Premier League opener at home to Norwich City on Saturday. Manager Martin Jol confirmed that Dempsey wants to leave, but said the forward will only be sold if the club receives a suitable bid.
