Dundee United keeper Benjamin Siegrist has refused to close the door on staying at Tannadice beyond the end of the season.
The Swiss is a looming free agent and has been linked with Rangers and Southampton as he plots the next stage in his career.
However, the 29-year-old ex-Aston Villa shotstopper, speaking in an interview in his homeland, insists nothing has been decided yet and could yet remain with the Premiership top six chasers.
Siegrist said: "I know what I have at United and in particular their amazing fans, but regardless of what I decide in the end, I'm going to bust my ass for them.
" United doesn't mean 'United' for nothing and we will join forces to achieve our common and targeted goals for the season.
"It always sounds like a cliche, but there is a lot of truth behind it, when a player feels complete trust, then he is also able to produce performances that nobody expected before.
"Because of the experience I've gained, I've calmed down at United, I enjoy every game, every save I make, every cross I take.
"I believe the real challenge in life is to accept who you really are and to strive for the highest possible with an unconditional belief in your strengths.
"There is a beautiful saying that goes: 'All obstacles and difficulties are steps on which we climb'.”
