Queens Park Rangers captain Joey Barton has admitted that he does not know whether he will sign a new contract with the club.
The 32-year-old midfielder is due to be a free agent at the end of the season.
While insisting that he is committed to QPR, Barton is unclear whether his future lies at Loftus Road.
When asked if he would be staying at the club, the former England international told Sky Sports News: "I honestly don't know. That's probably not a decision for me to make.
"My commitment to this football club is up until the end of the year. I actually didn't think this would be a conversation I'd ever be having, I thought it was going to be a lot more cut and dried than this.
"The main objective this year is to stabilise the club in the Premier League. That's what I'm here to do as part of a team and that's all I'll be trying to do until the end of the season. After that, if there are conversations to be had then there are conversations to be had."
Barton joined QPR from Newcastle United in 2011.
