Arjen Robben claims he may have to consider his Chelsea future, insisting he will not stay at Stamford Bridge purely for money.
The Holland international is in his third season with the Premiership champions, but is frustrated at not being a regular in Jose Mourinho's side.
He has started eight of the club's 13 Premiership games, but is eager to be in the team week in, week out.
Mourinho's change in formation has occasionally seen the 22-year-old marginalised, while Chelsea have also been linked with Lyon winger Florent Malouda.
Robben is prepared to bide his time to become a regular, but insists he will not wait indefinitely to be a first choice under Mourinho.
"If I am not in the team I will have to consider other options," Robben told the News of the World.
"Chelsea said I would be playing more regularly so let us wait and see.
"There are some players here who get a lot of money for doing nothing, but I don't want to be one of them.
"I am too young for that."
