Speaking to AS, the 22-year-old said: “I’m very calm and I try not to be aware of news that in the end are nothing more than rumours. I try to be focused on the day to day with my team, train in the best way for the matches and give them the best. Coming to the end of the season, I’ll sit down with the club and my agent and we’ll look at what is best for me.
“There’s a lot of talk, we all know that the situation of the teams is not at its best due to Covid, but it would also be a nice achievement to be able to go out and set a record. We’ll know that after the season, when the final is over, that will be the right time to find out and see what awaits me in the future.”
