Campbell drops exit hint
Sol Campbell has dropped his biggest hint yet he will not be returning to Pompey.
And the Blues captain warned the doubt surrounding the club's future is putting him off signing a new deal at Fratton Park.
Campbell became a free agent yesterday as his current contract came to a close.
The 34-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs including St Etienne, Basel and Greek side Atromitos.
Campbell revealed he is still keen to play on at the top level level for another two years, and is weighing up his options.
Pompey are keen to reopen talks with the former England international and executive chairman Peter Storrie has stated they have already held tentative discussions.
But it appears the uncertainty surrounding the club as the proposed takeover by Sulaiman Al Fahim drags on will stop Campbell committing to the side he joined in 2006.
That is a big blow with Pompey's squad already short on numbers with pre-season training starting next week.
Campbell said: 'There's a few options out there. I'm out of contract and I'm going to listen to different offers.
'With Portsmouth they have to organise themselves and there's a lot of things happening there.
'I want to make the right choice. In the next two to three years I want to be in the right situation.
'The chairman, the manager and people like that, I like them to be really close together to move the club on.
'At the moment with Portsmouth it just seems there're a lot of things in the background.
'It may resolve itself, I don't know, but for me, as a player, I want to be in the right environment. For at least the next two years, the right environment to be successful.'
