Liverpool target Keisuke Honda has played down rumours linking him with a move to Anfield, claiming he is happy at CSKA MoscowMarseille and Juventus have also shown interest in the Japan international recent, as have Manchester City.
But the 25-year-old has claimed he is happy in Russia, despite earlier this year stating he wanted to play in "a more competitive league."
"CSKA are playing Champions League football next season so staying is not a bad option," Honda told Sankei Sports.
But he added: "However, I do want to test myself at a higher level if the opportunity arises. My preference is still to play Spain."
Liverpool have been interested in the midfielder for some time and reports earlier this year claimed the Merseysiders could make a £12million bid this summer.
Honda's agent, Kees Pleogsma, revealed back in January that talks with a number of clubs about a potential transfer had taken place, with Arsenal at the time believed to be showing interest.
