Former vice-president of the club, he let loose on Antenna 1 pointing out these movements between the two clubs: “they are throwing them here to evaluate whether or not they can be useful to them in the future, and Benfica cannot be subjected to these situations. Because beyond the financial aspects, which are secondary in this situation, there is above all the sporting aspect. When we make recruitments, it is to strengthen the team with the aim of winning, because that is the main objective of the team, to win. He also felt that Renato Sanches' purchase option should not be exercised, which is set at 10 million euros: “There is no question of it, that would be pure madness. It doesn't occur to me, as a Benfica fan and as a member of society, that whoever is running the club at the moment would make such a decision, it doesn't occur to me.”
