FC Copenhagen's key midfielder Lukas Lerager explains in an interview with Viaplay why he was unable to agree on terms for an extension when his contract runs out at the end of the year.

"I couldn't see myself in their proposal for a contract extension. Most of all, because I joined FC Copenhagen when they had not won the Danish title for two years and had not qualified for the Champions League for four years. And five years later, to have qualified for the Champions League three times, won the Danish title three times, the Danish Cup twice and played no less than 215 matches."

"I know I have reached a certain age, but if it's only age they're looking at, then they might as well put all their GPS away, which they care so much about."

"If those numbers are so important when you are wearing a GPS, maybe I should knock on the door and ask who has trained the most. I have, so I don’t think things could be connected in relation to signal value either," says the 32-year old Lerager to Viaplay.

Lukas Lerager joined FC Copenhagen from Genoa in 2021. Since then, he has played 215 games in the white shirt.
