Let’s wait and see. » But he’s already been waiting for some time, and it annoys him. : “of course, yes. I’m not retiring soon, so I’m just playing, focusing on the season and trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I’m disappointed but we’ll see. » The message has clearly been sent, and the management of the Reds will quickly have to decide, otherwise their best player will frown further.
