Mohamed Diamé has revealed he is waiting on a new contract offer from Newcastle with his current deal set to expire in the summer.
Diamé has forced his way back into the Magpies midfield this season after it had looked like his career at St James Park was over.
The Senegal international though, has managed to make 29 appearances for Rafa Benitez’s side and is hoping he will be offered an extension soon.
“It will not be a problem because the club know my position. I am focused on what this club needs to stay up, as that is the most important thing,” Diame told SkySports.
“I have been playing a lot this season, so it will not be a problem to find another team.
“They know I want to stay. But it’s not about me, it is about the club and what they want to do. I am focused on the job of staying up and there will be time in the summer to think about this.
“I am happy here, that’s what I can say. If I can stay I will stay, but if I have to go, I will go. It won’t be a problem.”
