“I told them that we don’t want to lose Kalinic. In China they were prepared to pay the release clause (of €55m), but the player did not want to go.
“He is a lad to be appreciated and admired because he tells you what he wants to your face. We take all that into account.
“We have made a decision and we’re sticking with that.”
