“We are talking about a player who is targeted by many clubs who have greater economic resources. Sporting decide on the player’s future, all I can say is we have great professionals here. We have endured a lot of harassment of our players from other clubs, in particular five or six.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen until August 31, the transfer deadline day in Europe, but Sporting are not a selling club.
“The President also clarified that the club doesn’t need to sell. Sporting have to defend their jewels to the end. It is Sporting CP who decide what happens to their players.”
