00:00You have earned the right to decide, I think, when you call time on your period here at Manchester City.
00:06You have 18 months on your contract.
00:08I just wonder, have you given any thought to whether you will see out the entirety of that contract
00:13or whether you may indeed choose to leave in the summer?
00:16Where are you in that kind of thought process right now?
00:20Well, the last three or four years, every time in a certain period, ask me about that question.
00:24So, yeah, sooner or later, I don't know, with the 75 or 76, I will quit from Manchester City.
00:30But I understand that question when I have an end of contract.
00:34But I have, you said perfectly, 18 months.
00:37So I'm so delighted, happy.
00:39I was excited with the development of the team and being there.
00:43That is all I can say.
00:45But, you know, that question happens every single season at a certain point.
00:49So I'm OK.
00:51So when, I said many times, the club and myself, we are incredibly connected in terms of the decision that we have to take
01:01and when it's going to happen, it's going to happen.
01:04What considerations do you give in those discussions?
01:08Because obviously there are some managers who say, for example,
01:11I'm going to leave at the end of this contract in the summer
01:13and that has an adverse effect on performances and the players.
01:17You have so much history, so much affection for this club.
01:19What considerations do you have to have to bear all of that in mind, alongside your own decisions?
01:24The problem is that there are no discussions.
01:29End of the subject.
01:31There are no discussions.
01:33But they will come at some point.
01:35Yes.
01:36Yeah.
01:36I will not be eternal here.
01:38But I said my second season here, my third season, I will not be forever.
01:41Any of us will be forever in this world.
01:46So, but it's not discussions.
01:49So what is going to happen is going to happen.
01:51Of course, the club must be prepared for everything, for the players, for the CEOs,
01:56except the owners, that they are here, except they decide to sell the club.
02:02That is not, I think it's going to happen.
02:04The rest, you know, the club has to be prepared, but it's not, you know,
02:12in that subject, it's not on the table right now.
02:14The City fans will want me to ask if you plan to be here at the start of next season.
02:19So, do you plan to be here?
02:20I answered that question, the two questions before.
02:24So, I'm here.
02:25So, yes.
02:26So, I'm here.
02:27It's going to happen.
02:28Who knows that?
02:29Who knows?
02:30But even if I have a 10-year contract or I have a six-month contract.
02:35So, football, it changes a lot.
02:38So, now I'm focusing with Ham and go a few days with my dad.
02:45And that's all.
02:46So, and come back, Nottingham and Sunderland and Chelsea and Brighton
02:50and all the stuff that we have ahead of us.
02:53Have a great Christmas.
02:54It's a better Christmas to you.
