He said: “I have two years of my contract here. I have no contract with other clubs.
“I have to speak with my club after the final. I want to know if they are happy with me.”

Sarri, 60, wants assurances over his future from club hierarchy at Stamford Bridge
“It’s very exciting to be here but now it’s time to think only about the final.”
When asked directly if he was happy to remain at Chelsea, he replied: “I’m very happy to stay in the Premier League, with Chelsea, one of the most important clubs in the Premier League.
“I’m very, very happy but we have to discuss the situation. It’s normal. You have to discuss things with the club. It’s like this.”
Elsewhere, Sarri refused to shed any light on whether the final with Arsenal in Baku on May 29 would be Eden Hazard’s last game for Chelsea.
