Belgium international and Tottenham star midfielder Mousa Dembele has sensationally told reporters in his homeland that he could be leaving the club this summer. The former Fulham man has yet to sign a new contract.
According to numerous reports, chairman Daniel Levy has refused to pay double his current salary that Dembele has requested and the player has now been linked with a shock move abroad; with Juventus believed to be in pole position to land the player on a free transfer.
“We have not really talked about an extension of my contract," said the Belgian.
“At the beginning of the season, I said ‘I had physical problems, I want to see at the end of the season how I feel’. That’s what the club and I decided by mutual agreement.
“If we talk about a new contract in the middle of the season, it will cost energy. Imagine that a player feels not appreciated after a disappointing proposal, it can disrupt his game.
“At this moment, I am very happy at Tottenham. I do not lie when I say that I do not think about a big transfer. I want to play a World Cup and afterwards we will see.
“Really, I’m not aware of the interest of other clubs. And, besides, I told my agent to wait for the summer to tell me about any offers. For now, I’m only focussing on Tottenham. Maybe this is my last season. Or maybe I’ll sign a new deal. We’ll see.”
