The Portuguese midfielder has faced a testing time since linking up with the Bundesliga champions, and he wants to get some playing time.
He told Bild: "When the bosses told me to stay, that felt good, even though I wanted to move. I felt their appreciation. But I also need enough game time."
"The coach and I have spoken one or two more times. I now know exactly what he wants from me. Our relationship is normal. We shake hands and talk normally."
"There's still a month in the transfer window, but I have a contract here. If the people in charge continue to say that I should stay, I will stay. I want to play, that's just what counts for me."
