José Fonte had a pleasant conversation with Sérgio Conceição and his assistant Dembelé. This a few moments before the friendly meeting between FC Porto and Lille last weekend. The Portuguese central defender of Lille has recognized the interest of the Dragons in Reinaldo Mandava. But he prefers to see the Mozambican continue the adventure with the champions of France.
Lille captain, José Fonte was very appreciative of his teammate. The Portuguese presents Reinildo as a player of great quality but he wants to see the champion of France next season. “Reinildo was the best left-back in France last season, I hope he stays with me, we want the best to stay. He has a lot of quality, he is very good in defense. Reinildo fits into any team. A good player adapts anywhere. I want him to stay with me because I want the best players with me, ”said the Lusitanian.
The 2016 European champion with Portugal revealed to have had with Sérgio Conceição “a normal conversation, because it is normal to appreciate the qualities of Reinaldo”. But on the question of FC Porto’s interest for the Mozambican left-back, Fonte prefers to let those most empowered to manage administrative affairs take care of it. “Reinildo has a contract, he is a Lille player and these are things between clubs, which do not concern us and it is up to us to stay focused on our work, which is on the pitch. Moreover, the presidents of the clubs will speak, ”he adds.
