Obafemi Martins will wait until January to decide on his future as he continues recovery from a torn hamstring, according to his representative Ante Alilovic.
The 33-year-old has been out of action since April after damaging his hamstring in an AFC Champions League game between Shanghai Shenhua and Kashima Antlers.
The former Inter Milan and Birmingham City attacker has been frozen out of Wu Jingui's side due to the injury which necessitated the return of Senegal's Demba Ba from Goztepe.
Martins' earnings in Australia is a factor highlighted by his agent who has ruled out any transfer decision until January 2019.
