Ronald Koeman insists he will see out his Southampton contract.
The Dutchman has been linked with a future move to Barcelona where he spent time as a player between 1989 and 1995 but suggests he is in no hurry to prematurely end his three-year deal at St Mary’s Stadium.
"I have been linked with Barcelona in the past and I will be in the future but I can't do anything about that," Koeman said in the lead-up to Wednesday night’s clash with West Ham United.
"I have to respect my contract I like to respect my contract and I am very happy in my job.
"The future does not mean this season, it maybe means about seven years – you never know.
"Of course I had a great time there. The longest period of my time as a player was at Barcelona and it's normal that I have that feeling with them and they have that feeling with me, but there is no reason to be afraid about that."
Ex-Blaugrana assistant and Ajax boss Koeman took the reins of the south coast outfit in the summer, replacing Mauricio Pochettino, after four years in charge at Feyenoord.
