The 30-year-old admits he doesn’t know what his future holds at Carrow Road but some fans are desperate for the Canaries to retain him next term.
Norwich City defender Timm Klose has admitted that he doesn’t know what the future holds for him at Carrow Road.
However, the Switzerland international says he loves the club, the city and its people, and isn’t thinking of leaving in January as he’s eager to “finish the job” of aiming to secure Premier League promotion.
Klose is out of contract at the Championship high-flyers in the summer, which combined with the opening of the winter transfer window, means he is now free to talk to clubs outside England about his next move.
However, the 30-year-old – valued by Transfermarkt at 3.5million Euro, or around £3.2million – says discussions over an extended stay with the Canaries are in the works, with much resting on how the rest of the season pans out.
Klose, who has made 109 appearances for Norwich, according to the Eastern Daily Press, told the outlet: “The club has approached my agent but I don’t know yet what they are speaking about… obviously I quite enjoy it here in Norwich. After a difficult start I fell more and more in love with this club, with the city and the people in and around it.”
The newspaper suggested that a deal similar to that offered to Alex Tettey, of a big pay cut but longer contract, could be offered to Klose, although with Premier League promotion at stake, it makes the picture less clear.
“What’s going to happen with contract extensions or talks, anything, I don’t know,” added Klose. “I want to stay until the summer and then, we are going to see what’s going to happen. But in my head I’m more focused to stay here rather than leave – and finish the job.”
Pinkun and EDP journalist Michael Bailey posted a link of his interview with Klose on his Twitter page and, as well as giving his opinion on what he’d like to see the club do with the centre-back, some fans also spoke out:
