The 31-year-old defender has been linked with a move away from Perth during the January transfer window to enhance his hopes of going to this year's World Cup with the Socceroos.

And Coyne told The West Australian there has been contact from a Chinese club and he could fly out to China as early as next week to seal a loan deal but nothing has been confirmed yet.

"Until anything is concrete, nothing will be done. But obviously it's something that would interest me if it further enhances my Socceroos chances," Coyne said.

The former Colchester United skipper hasn't been selected for an Australia squad by Pim Verbeek since his move home to the A-League, but remains optimistic he's still in the picture.

Verbeek recently admitted Coyne had missed selection for the AFC Asian Cup qualifier with Kuwait due to an ongoing back problem which had troubled him during December.

Coyne added: "I don't want to leave my family, my mates, my hometown. For me, it would be gut-wrenching if I had to go. But from a selfish point of view, I'll be doing what I think is best for my career.

"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity because I definitely won't be available for the next World Cup.

"It's not as easy as people think because I'd be leaving a wife and three kids for four months. It would be a purely professional decision that would hurt on a personal level. But it's something that I have to do because I might regret it in the future."

Glory have previously acknowledged they would be happy to allow their Socceroos to leave on loan in January but deputy chairman Lui Giuliani revealed the club would only release players on the final day of the transfer window to ensure their maximum availability.

"The club will consider any offers and opportunities but we won't be releasing players until we've had time to review the offers," Giuliani said.

"Chris will be playing on Sunday and he will be at training next week, as far as I'm aware at the moment."
