The £2million signing from Norwegian side Brann would then be in a position to move on a free, although Wigan have offered the 28-year-old a new two-year contract.
"Moving would be an option but I must emphasise I'm at Wigan and still have a contract until the summer of 2009," he said.
"Afterwards I would be free, so I expect that, in the winter, all hell will break loose."
Craven Cottage boss Roy Hodgson made two bids, one in excess of £3million, for Scharner in January but Latics were not willing to offload one of their most important players to a relegation rival.
