Malaysian striker <b>Safee Sali</b> brushes off Pelita Jaya exit talks amidst <b>...</b>

Posted: 22 Dec 2011 07:40 AM PST

Safee Sali has reiterated his desire to remain at Pelita Jaya despite the current strife at the Indonesian club.

Pelita could be facing sanctions from Fifa for participating in a league that is not endorsed by the PSSI and it could prevent Safee from featuring for the Malaysian national team.

However, the striker is keen to remain with the Karawang-based side although he did not rule out a transfer away from the club.

"This problem makes me confused. I am still waiting to hear from PSSI and Fifa, and hopefully it will be cleared up soon," he told reporters during a press conference in a Pelita Jaya promotional event on Thursday.

"If there has to be sanctions [for Pelita] then I would choose to play outside of Indonesia. I have not really decided yet but I am still waiting for further developments from PSSI and Fifa, so that I can still play for the national team."

"They [FAM] are monitoring the developments here. FAM are worried about my existence here because I am a national team player."

"The federation has always supported me playing for this club, and they have seen my progress here. So I am still hoping to play for the national team and I wish to stay with Pelita Jaya."

PSSI announced that the Indonesian Premier League (IPL) led by Prima Indonesia Sportindo, will be the official league whereas the Indonesian Super League (ISL) will not be part of PSSI's plans.

However, quite a number of clubs have decided to participate in the ISL, causing a massive stir with the PSSI and Fifa. As a result, speculation has been mounting that the Malaysian striker could be forced to leave the club but Pelita Jaya's director sees no truth in it

Rahim Soekasah told Goal.com: "There's not much to say at the moment. As far as I know Safee is very happy here, no problems whatsoever. All I'm hearing are nothing but rumours. He will definitely stay with us."

The Bakrie family who currently run Pelita Jaya are also owners of A-League club Brisbane Roars, which could be a potential destination for Safee in case he wants a move away. It is no secret that the ex-Selangor striker has always been keen on a move to a bigger league but the Indonesian club's head coach is hoping otherwise.

Lalu Mara said: "He [Safee] is our main striker. He is always our target man. I hope it does not happen [him leaving]. And I think it will not happen because we are playing in an official competition. If it happens, of course we'll have to look for a new striker."

Safee moved to Pelita Jaya last season after his exploits in the AFF Suzuki Cup in 2010. Since then, he has been the talisman for the side as he scored seven goals to help them beat the drop last season. This campaign, he has been appointed the captain of the team and has notched one goal in three matches so far.
