Veteran midfielder not thinking about next season

Claude Makelele has admitted that he still does not know whether he will be a Paris St Germain player next season. The Frenchman signed a one-year deal with PSG last summer with the option of extending his stay for a further 12 months. The veteran midfielder, 36, has previously hinted that he may retire at the end of the current campaign. However, the former Chelsea and Real Madrid man has yet to make up his mind and is concentrating solely on trying to help PSG lift the Ligue 1 title. "Will I go on playing next term at PSG? I have not thought about it yet," Makelele told Le 10 Sport. "The most important (thing) is to finish the season well. Then I will make my decision. "Anyway, a possible Champions League qualification won't necessarily influence my choice." Makelele insists he has no plans to become a coach in the near future, saying: "I am a player in my mind and it is out of the question to think about it."
