COOL GALLAS WON'T BE RUSHED
By Patrick Haond - Created on 7 Feb 2006
The ears of Juventus coach Fabio Capello may have been pricked after Chelsea defender William Gallas revealed he is in no hurry to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge.
With 18 months left to run on his existing Blues deal, the Frenchman claims he will not be rushed into making a decision on his future, with the player instead focusing his sights on a continuation of Chelsea's excellent form into the second half of the season.
This latest admission, however, may prompt Juve to step up their interest in a player who has been an integral part of Jose Mourinho's all-conquering side.
"Each things in their right time," said Gallas, responding to questions about his future. "I will negotiate later.
"Today there are only sporting challenges with Chelsea that interest me - it is never good to mix everything."
Gallas admits that he is happy at the Premiership champions but does not care for the unwanted distraction of contract negotiations.
"I am not concerned with my future, on the contrary," added Gallas.
"I have fun with Chelsea and I don't want to be disturbed by rumours about my contract extension."
