“I think we are still at the same stage. I’m not concerned with conversations. My agents are talking with the club. As soon as there is something important that I need to know, it is sent to me. So far, I don’t think we’ve made much progress. I am still waiting and I remain on my position of wanting to stay at the club. As I said, we try to find common agreements. Even if there are other clubs, if we reach a common agreement, my wish is to stay at the club.
