"We are not worried. Aside from the fact there is a clause that is valid for abroad until July, Mauro and us want to stay together and achieve our objectives," Ausillo said.
"I won't rule out that, without any appointments set right now because he has a very long contract, we could in future sit down and talk about something different."
