"But yeah, for me, I've never really said anything about it because I was just focused on talking to the team about how we can improve our performance, future ideas for next year as well.
"I think it's time to basically stop all the rumors and for me, it's always been quite clear that I was staying anyway.
"That was also the general feeling in the team anyway, because we were always in discussions about what we could do with the car.
"I think when you're not interested in staying, then you also stop talking about these kinds of things. And I never did."

Mohamed Salah scores as Liverpool unleash £270m new signings against Athletic amid emotional Anfield tribute to Diogo Jota
Florian Wirtz's first look at Anfield gave fans a glimpse of why the club made him their – and with add-ons potentially a British – record signing with some clever touches and interplay and almost the opening goal. Head coach Arne Slot believes the Germany international will replace the creativity they lost from the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid. 'I think there is always room for improvement in every department and we have added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons,' said the Dutchman. We need your consent to load this Social Media content.

Mohamed Salah scores as Liverpool unleash £270m new signings against Athletic
LIVERPOOL SHOWCASED £270 million-worth of new signings in the 3-2 friendly victory over Athletic Bilbao but the goals still went to established Premier League winners Mohamed Salah – who also missed a late penalty – and Cody Gakpo.
