"I am at the end of my contract here, so we will have to talk. I would like to continue because I feel good at this club who trust me and it is where I can develop myself,” Gueulette told Times Sport.
"But I also know via my agent that I have interest from other teams because of my performances this season. So we will have to see. For the moment I will enjoy the title and let my manager do the talking," he added.

Raal have lost just once in 31 league games this season and Gueulette admits their dedication and professionalism has culminated to their success.
"I think our work ethic has been perfect. Since the start of the preparation, we worked really hard because we knew that we had to do it to be the best. And we never stopped the whole season even when it was difficult,” he said.
"Also, the fact that we were constantly trying to improve game after game even after a big win. We never showed satisfaction and we always tried to get better to reach new levels."
"The whole team has been amazing! I mean we have the best attack, the best defense, the most clean sheets, the top scorer is in our team and we only lost once the whole season. We showed our pedigree the whole season. We showed our supremacy in the championship. To be crowned champion is just cherry on the top of this great season."
