“Today, the market is open. You know how crazy the market is. Things happen that even a club like Monaco cannot say no to. It happened to Liverpool (with Coutinho),” said Jardim.
“Things are as they are. The numbers today are incredibly big. Everything can change. The things I can say today are not true tomorrow ‘In the last two transfer windows, last summer and this winter, the numbers have gone up enormously.”
“I still want to keep Lemar. If I stay here for 10 years I want Lemar to stay with me for 10 years.”
“He is young, he can still play for 10 years. He has a lot of qualities, I like him a lot.”
