00:00Pep, do you know yet when he will leave? Will he be part of the squad for the Club World Cup or will he leave at the end of the Premier League season?
00:07It's a good question, I don't know. I think he has to decide, you have to talk, because now with the World Cup it's a new contract, legally, you know.
00:15If he, you know, hopefully can continue playing football in another place and it depends on the risk, you know, playing there for the contracts or injures or the future.
00:26So, honestly, I don't know. I think the club has to talk to him or he has to say what he wants to do.
00:33Would it be a fitting end to his City career, though, to go to the United States with you, to be part of that City team playing in what is a hugely historic tournament?
00:45Of course. Of course it's the first time you play this competition and at the end of the first three games it's still under contract, I would say, but after that, if we go through, I don't know.
00:57So I cannot answer because the answer I think Kevin has to tell and after that as well for the fact that the future, you know, legally can be possible or not.
