Lacina Traore is looking for an exit from CSKA Moscow despite only joining them on loan in the summer, his agent Dimitri Seluk has told the Itar TASS news agency.
Traore, 26, moved to the Russian club from Monaco but has struggled to make an impact, scoring just four times in 16 games.
With the three-month winter break set to kick in in early December, Seluk said: "Lacina Traore has to at least finish the Champions League group stage, then we'll see.
"I am in support of Lacina leaving for another league. We have to get organised to find a solution for the end of November, start of December."
Traore was a surprise signing by Monaco when he joined them from Anzhi Makhachkala on a four-and-a-half year deal in January 2014.
He was immediately loaned to Everton, with whom he spent a disappointing six months, and has made just 25 Ligue 1 appearances -- scoring four times -- for Monaco since.
Seluk said the Ivory Coast international's €2.5 million salary could be a stumbling block as "only English and German clubs, maybe Spanish, can afford him."
