“We are not talking about an extension at the moment. We are very focused on the club’s situation,” Scuro said.

“We hope that he will have more of an impact and more minutes on the pitch. After that, we will decide together. It isn’t just a club decision. It is also the player’s choice. At the right time, we will talk.”
