I don’t want to hurt sensitivities, because the big three in Portugal have top players.” The level. For some reason, the best European team will get players from Portugal. I don’t want to single out anyone, because I was at Benfica.”
In the past few hours, an alleged interest in Taremi, from FC Porto, was also mentioned, but Jorge Jesus dissipated: “I really like the characteristics of Taremi, but in this position I have four players, so this possibility does not arise.”
And William Carvalho? “It was one of my options, because I wanted a defensive midfielder. William became more difficult and we ended up appointing Arao, whom I also knew,” he said.
Moreover, the coach assumed that at this time he is waiting to sign two central defenders and a goalkeeper, given the injury of the usual player (Bayender) against Dynamo Kyiv.
