00:00Well, it's not easy for me to say, because I should say him, but he's not here.
00:06So two days ago, Kyle asked to explore the options to play aboard at the end of his career.
00:13He asked two years ago, after travel, Bayern Munich, I think, wanted him, but the offer
00:18was not good enough.
00:19And I asked him, the club asked him how important it is.
00:22We cannot understand the success that we've had these years without Kyle.
00:26It's impossible.
00:28Having our right back and give us something that we didn't have and have been amazing.
00:35But now in his mind, he would like to explore already, to go another country, to play the
00:41last years for many reasons.
00:44And for that reason, I preferred, you know, playing other players like his mind is here.
00:51You've always allowed players when they come to you and ask to move.
00:56He went to the club.
00:57He went to Chiqui.
00:58He didn't speak with me.
00:59But of course, of course, always.
01:03Maybe I'm wrong.
01:04Maybe I'm not.
01:05But still, I'm pretty convinced that there is no one person in our jobs, whatever job
01:12that doesn't want to be what they are, can perform or can, you know, be exactly what
01:19they want to be.
01:20Just explore.
01:21That doesn't mean it's going to happen because we never know.
01:26Explore the situation, the position.
01:29And I respect a lot because I'm more than grateful what he has done these many years
01:34with us since he arrived eight years ago after the first season here, start to win, win,
01:39win, win, win.
01:40He has been important with the national team for your country, important, of course, with
01:46our team.
01:47But he said that I want to explore my mind and my heart and I want to be another, explore
01:55it.
01:56And honestly, I don't know it's going to happen.
01:59So that is what I can say.
