“It’s almost done. It’s as good as done. The team wants to keep him for another three years, They say there is nothing stopping them from giving him a new contract and the three-year contract is the best for both parties. As I have said it’s as good as done. I can say 90% done. They don’t want to waste time anymore at this stage and that’s why they want it done before December. The figures and conditions of the new deal are much better than the ones in the last contract,” said a source to the same publication.
