Yeah none of us know what his personal priorities are. If it was me I'd probably be taking a big payday somewhere warm.

it isn't completely unrealistic though to guess that his main priority is the world cup. With all he's achieved in the game, another league or cup win somewhere isn't going to change his "legacy" at all, whereas doing something at the world cup (i.e. getting out of the group i guess) is definitely new territory for him.

The fact that he's talking to us at all suggests that it must be part of his thinking, as he could easily get an offer from a premier league team or serie A. Even the Getafe chairman seemed very up for the idea of signing him.
