Sporting CP president on Rui Patricio's future: "There was an offer from Napoli, then Ancelotti came and everything changed"

It seems that Rui Patricio's time with Sporting CP is coming to an end, and the president of the Portuguese club, De Carvalho, called a press conference in order to explain the situation: "Rui Patricio had asked for a resolution of his contract, I regret that he didn't speak to the club about what was happening. We were negotiating with Jorge Mendes, who told us there was an offer from Napoli, then the situation changed because they hired Ancelotti and their interest cooled off. Then Wolverhampton arrived for the player. What don't I like? From the 18 million we would receive from Wolverhampton for the sale of Rui Patricio, Jorge Mendes wanted 7 million. Mendes wants to profit from the situation, this is a crime. I'm sorry that Rui Patricio didn't meet face to face with us because we would have made him see and understand that there are situations that have nothing to do with his contract."
