I can imagine staying on at Bayer Leverkusen."FutureLeno's agent has refused to speculate on what the future will hold, but admits his client would benefit from an extended stay at Leverkusen.Uli Ferber said: "It is way too early to discuss this. So much can happen between now and the winter transfer window."It is a fact that Bernd wants to play Bundesliga football, at a high level if possible. He needs to know where his future lies and things need to be right for all clubs."Bobic will not be shedding any light on the situation any time soon, as he insists his sole focus at present is on players currently on Stuttgart's books.He said: "I do not want to discuss this week in, week out.
