\u201cWe have already had one or two talks. I do not feel there is pressure on the subject.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn sporting terms, I\u2019m very satisfied with City – there are less attractive jobs in Europe!<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this regard, there is nothing to prevent an extension. But nothing is decided yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
