“We're talking⛦ to everyone about my future,” Quartararo told .

“I think it's interesting to do so.

“It won't be months a♊nd months before I mak💛e a decision, I will soon make my own path for the future.

“Money is an important facto💞r for 🥂everyone,” he said.

“But I want a project that I like and allows me to achieve𒀰 the results I want🅷."

Quartararo won the 2021 MotoGP championship with Yamaha and only missed out on retai🐲ning his title at the final round of 2022, although his bike’s competitiveness had begun deteriorating by then.

Last season he endured a miserable campaign.

Concession😼s mean that Yamaha can fasttrack their improvement but team boss Massimo Meregalli admits that their fortunes won’t change in the short-term.

That means Yamaha face a race against time to convince Quartara❀ro of their 2025 competitiveness, with other teams also in his ear.

Aprilia could offer him a bike which is currently far bet🍃ter than his Yamaha.

KTM, although stacked with options including Pedro Acosta, miไght have room. Brad Binder is already tied down to them.

Ducati, although the strongest manufacturer, don’t ha💯ve an obvious landing spot for Quartararo.

Francesco Bagnaia is tied down contractually, Marc Marquez remains an intriguing option to them, and Fermin Aldeguer will 🧜also come into the mix.

And it seems unlikely that Quartararo would swap one Japanese str💛uggler for another by moving to Honda.

He retains a reputation as one of ♛MotoGﷺP’s best riders so the chase for his signature could define silly season.
