Default NASA Studying Russian 12-month Plan

In principle, couldn't qualified ESA 'Soyuz commanders' such as Reiter or
Haignere be the commander?

That would lead me to believe that perhaps Padalka might stay for one

year.

There's no financial advantage for them to keep him up a year, because

every
Soyuz will require a Russian commander, even if the other two seats were

sold
for cash.
