"No, it's not about getting the maximum. Believe it or not, that's the case with many footballers. They simply want to be paid fairly compared to their teammates. For me, the sporting aspect is what matters. I want to play for an ambitious club that has a plan, a club where my qualities are appreciated. Above all, I want to inspire my teammates and take the team to another level. Football is about winning; I've had that goal administered to me intravenously every day for the last eight years."
"There are many people who think that my style of football would be a great fit for England. But I have time. I'll listen to everything and consider it carefully. I'm looking forward to the talks that will take place. The only thing I expect is honest and confidential communication. I would be disappointed if things turned out the same way for me as they did for Thomas Müller."
