Asked about the details of James‘deal, his coach Carlo Ancelotti avoid discussing this particular clause.
“Really, we did not talk about this at the moment, we are just glad he is here and he is happy to be here,” Ancelotti said at a press conference.
“If we’re happy, he’s happy.
‘There is no problem signing the contract
“It is not my job to extend the contract with the player.
“I can only advise the club to extend the contract and I can advise the player to stay with us. That’s it.”
