Pereira confirms dropping ‘Lemina’ and confirms market is closed

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira has insisted there is no plan to bring Mario Lemina back into action until his future is clearer.

Lemina has not played in the last seven games and Pereira has reiterated interest from Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab.

“Of course it is difficult to explain,” Pereira said.

“If a player is not in the right place then there are doubts about whether he will stay or move. For me it is very simple, he will not be available until the end of the window. “When the window closes I

will see if he is my player or not. If there is a problem I will sort it out because he is a good player, he has quality. ” Or if he leaves then it is not my problem anymore. “

In this moment I want to play players who are committed to the team, to the project, to the club, everything.

Pereira said: “Last time I came to the press conference I thought he was in for the game, then he asked me to be out of the game because mentally he wasn’t in condition.

“Today he came to me, in the morning, he asked to apologise to me and apologise to the team. He said he is ready to do his best for the team until we have a solution and decision.

“This is the way he must behave. We are professional, the club pays the salaries which means I should come here with energy to help until the last day.”

Wolves – 17th in the Premier League – want £5m for Lemina, who joined from Southampton two years ago.

Pereira also wants to sign two players, one a midfielder, สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ regardless of whether Lemina is at Molineux next month or not.

He lost the captaincy to Nelson Semedo last month after clashing with West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen following the 2-1 defeat at the London Stadium, before Pereira replaced Gary O’Neil as head coach.

“He is training but, as you can understand, his heart is not here because he wants to move. I have to be straightforward about that. “

I have to say what happened, this is what happened and I will wait until the end of the window and then we will see.”
