Germany international Jens Lehmann is confident his future at Arsenal will soon be sorted out.
Lehmann turns 38 in November and is in the final months of his contract with the Gunners.
The Premiership club are understood to be standing firm on their policy of offering only 12-month extensions to senior players.
Lehmann wants the security of a two-year deal.
There has been interest from teams overseas for Lehmann, who kept a record number of clean sheets en-route to the Champions League final last season.
Lehmann would, though, be happy to continue his stay at Arsenal should an amicable agreement be reached in negotiations with manager Arsene Wenger and club officials.
Lehmann said: 'We will talk soon, in the next week or two. I am not frustrated, it is business.
'I have always said I would like to play at Arsenal because I think I am certainly aware the team has potential. I can decide to be a part [next season]. It is my decision and I have to make the decision.
'I am on a one-year contract right now, why should I really be disappointed about another year? It is not about one year. If I should go somewhere else, then I would go for two years, but here it is only one year.
'It is always my decision. I can stay, of course I can stay, but I have to talk before. It is a tough decision I have to make.'
