Beckeris currently barred from entering the UK before October 2024, and at the moment is unsure if his partnership with Rune will continue into next season.
"There's no point in signing a two-year contract now when you've only been cooperating for a week."
"If you are successful, you usually stay together, no matter what the contract says. If not, everyone goes their own way again."
