Arsenal loanee Denilson has called for present side São Paulo to look for an early resolution over his future, with his second loan contract expiring in June.
Denilson, 24, has made himself central to São Paulo’s side over the past 18-months and was important to the club’s Copa Sudamericana triumph in December. His intention to remain at the Morumbi has been made clear on several occasions.
Arsenal, who have always publically insisted that the player has a future at Emirates Stadium, are believed to be willing to negotiate.
Denilson is hopeful that his future can be defined early to allow him to concentrate on the season ahead, in which his side are expected to challenge for both the Copa Libertadores and domestic titles.
“June is close,” Denilson told UOL Esporte. “If Sao Paulo come tomorrow and say that I’ll stay, it will be an immense joy as I have always wanted to stay.
“If they leave the decision to a later point, I’ll feel annoyed. I want to be calm, to solve everything so that I can work without any problems.
“I haven’t had any direct talks with either Sao Paulo or Arsenal directors. I want to see out my contract with professionalism. I hope I can stay but I want them to solve this.
“June is far away, but at the same time it’s so close. I want this to be done so I can focus on Sao Paulo and help my team-mates.”
