Giannelli Imbula still wants to leave Porto.
The midfielder has been linked with Stoke City and Leicester City this month. However, the sacking of Porto coach Julen Lopetegui was believed to have convinced Imbula to stay.
But his father, Willy N'Dangi, insists nothing has changed.
He snapped to O Jogo: "The departure of the coach does not change anything because it is more about the club. He has carte blanche to look for a club.
"He does not feel protected in Porto, it is not good. I think he has not been respected as he should and, frankly, we're tired of hearing that he has not met expectations, because the context of the team is not the best."
