“I had all but signed Diego Capel to Inter but when I heard that Mourinho had taken charge I knew he wouldn’t go, he picked Quarema instead, he makes commission from transfer,” Bravo was quoted as saying by Sporx [via Mundo Deportivo].
When Mou was to sign for Inter I had Capel’s signing closed for this team, but when I heard about the coach’s arrival I told them that Capel would not go, that Mou would prefer Laresma. And in the end he signed Lent
Mourinho is part of Gestifute, a management company headed by Jorge Mendes who control large sways of the player market across Europe and South America.
