The Nigerian star has been linked with several English sides like Arsenal and Newcastle, while the Italian giants Juventus were also reported interested in the player.
"The transfer window is long and it's normal for players to have rumours about them, Of course, if I get an offer that pleases the club and myself and it's from the ‘big 10' clubs in Europe I would take a look at it,’’ Odemwingie was quoted as saying on Kickoff.com.
"I would think hard before leaving West Brom, because things are going well for me here and I am enjoying myself. We are still talking and maybe soon, when we get back, the situation will be clearer and I can extend my contract for a year or two.
“It is closer to being something positive. It's not 100 per cent, but if things run normally then something will be agreed,” he added.
The 29-year old striker who joined West Brom last summer from Lokomotiv Moscow, produced a string of strong performances, scoring 15 goals that helped the team to finish at the 11th place of the English Premier League table.
The Baggies’ officials are looking to secure their Nigerian star on extending his contract which expires in summer 2013.
"We would like to reward him for his efforts last season but, at the moment, there is a difference between what his agent thinks the rewards should be and what we are prepared to pay and that negotiation is ongoing,’’coach Roy Hodgson said.
"But, whatever happens, Peter Odemwingie has got two years left on a contract, so the only question is about what salary he is going to be playing on," he concluded.
