Pinto da Costa spoke to journalists this Tuesday, at the presentation of the SAD accounts. Asked about Diogo Costa and Fábio Vieira, two pearls of the dragon who are in the last year of their contract, the FC Porto leader confirmed that the renewal process is underway.
“These are players that interest us and we will keep”, he guaranteed.
As for the cases of Corona and Mbemba, Pinto da Costa was assertive and took the opportunity to give his rival a peck.
«FC Porto will not renew with any player that costs €6 million per year to SAD. Let’s not go crazy just to say that it didn’t come out at zero cost. It’s impossible, as it can happen like in Benfica. They renewed with Samaris not to leave at no cost, then ended up having to pay him to leave. It’s a false problem, because a player is to give sporting performance, if it gives financial income, better», he shot, leaving a guarantee: «There is a player who has already renewed, but we will only announce it when we understand».
