Super Mario is a target for Napoli, Roma, Marseille and others, but the new Coach hinted in his presentation that the striker could remain at Allianz Riviera.

“I called him on the phone to wish him a happy holiday, and to tell him that we’d see each other on July 2 for the resumption of training,” Vieira said.

“Aside from that I’ve just arrived, we have a lot of issues to deal with, so each thing in its time.”
