Iuri Moreira puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Lusitânia Lourosa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Benfica tell Lusitânia Lourosa: Bastien Meupiyou is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
