“It's not signed.
We have an agreement with Pablo (Longoria, the president of OM, editor's note), with the club.
We talked.
Pablo trusts me and I trust him.
But it was easier to talk about an extension when I was good, ”said Alvaro, in response to a question about rumors of contract extensions circulating in April.
"OM must be in the European Cup, then we will have time to talk"
" I want to stay here. I know it will be different next year. I am training well, my life is healthy. At 31, I am young, I feel better than at 25. But there is a club, a president, a staff. They are the ones who will decide, ”he added. “But the most important is the team and Europe. OM must always be in Europe. Then we'll have time to talk. What is important is that the players who arrive or who stay want to be in Marseille, that they like this jersey, the city, the Vélodrome, this so special stadium, ”said the Spaniard.
“The most important thing is to be in the Europa League.
Then we will see what needs to be changed and improved.
I am aware that there is a lot to change in the performance of the players, mine too of course, ”he concluded.
