I m not sure, but i m also under the impression that they want to keep him as well and extend his contract.
That means, they dont want him to find a new interest right now (FC)
However, they also need to play nice with him and comply to his wishes.
He was allowed to boss a new club, because he probably asked that him self, couldnt this mean that he has found a FC with great perspectives for the long run?
That would pit us, us the prime candidate there, wouldnt be?
