Now, I'm neither the sporting director nor the president. My goal is to put Pablo [Longoria], Medhi [Benatia] and their teams in the best conditions to make the best decisions in the short, medium and long term. Regarding the players mentioned, our goal is to keep them and build the team around them."</p>
