“The idea is not to sell anyone, but on the contrary, to try to strengthen ourselves. We don’t need many things, but we don’t want to sell. We are counting on everyone,” he said.
“Frankie [de Jong], Pedri, Javi, [Ronald] Araujo They are the players of the present and the future. “They have a contract and they have to stay for longer years.”
