Not only is the future of the 2019/20 football campaign unknown, Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen also faces an uncertain future as he continues to be out of contract come the end of the season (despite the current pause in the fixture calendar.
The 32-year-old is yet to be offered a new deal and we all know the speculation about his future at the club under manager Jose Mourinho – there were some doubts under former gaffer Mauricio Pochettino as well – and speculation is already rife that Serie A side Napoli are chasing his signature as a soon to be free agent.
Does Jan Deserve Another 12 Months?
Definitely
No, Sadly Time To Move On
His future certainly hasn’t been helped with the Coronavirus pandemic, and speaking to De Kleedkamer (via Sport Witness) this week to address questions about the coming months, he admitted he was left unsure about what will happen next, but he’s naturally taking his time and assessing his options before making a firm decision.
“I’m in a process right now that I have to grab a piece of paper and write down the pros and cons of the options I will have soon. I will really have to decide what I want in my career. In three to four years, I will normally return to the place where I will likely settle down. I have to start thinking about where I still want to live, what language I want to learn, what culture I still want to live in. And also very importantly: which competitions and prizes I still want to win. I don’t want to regret anything in my career.”
If, and whenever, the current campaign restarts there surely can’t be anyone who won’t wish Verts well given his lengthy and impressive service over the years.
