On July 3, Spanish media outlet AS reported that Mourinho gave an interview to FBTV, talking about how much support he has from Fenerbahçe’s management, and that Szalai was his desired center back.
Mourinho: “I’m very happy Szalai could play for me. I want to thank the Fenerbahçe president because he really kept the players I wanted to keep. The support I have from them is really huge.”
“When I was coaching at Roma, I wanted to sign Szalai. He has qualities that I really appreciate. Szalai had many other choices, but he still chose us. He really likes Fenerbahçe, he even has a sense of belonging here, and I want players like that.”
“We have a plan, we have identified the positions we need to reinforce, and we’ve confirmed the kind of players we want to bring in. I hope fans won’t rush things, we will do the right thing at the right time. If we’re too hasty, we will lose our composure. After all, transfers don’t mean everything, titles have to be fought for match by match, and we won’t know until April or May.”
