@Easy He has repeatedly stated that he won't leave, it's his choice. He'll sign a new deal after season ends, think they're just negotiating numbers. So, leave your hopes mate and move on.
Maybe you are right but there is still a chance I think. He has also complained multiple times about his role in the team. Does he really sign a new deal knowing he is second choice and that he will be on the bench for all the big games unless a starter is injured, maybe, but I just have that belief that he might be a little more ambitious than that in this stage of his career.
