Roma coach Mourinho admits he doesn't want to lose Oliveira

Roma coach Jose Mourinho admits he doesn't want to lose Sergio Oliveira this summer.

Oliveira arrived on loan from FC Porto in January with option to buy for €13m.

“If Porto want to loan him to us, I will personally bring him back to Rome myself. If it's about buying him, then I don't know if my credit card will cover that…" replied Mourinho when asked about the 30-year-old's status.

“He was very important this season, we share many principles you need to work on in football and helped me to transmit that message to the others. He set the example we needed.

“I would like him to stay, but we'll have to wait and see."
