My idea in football i༺s not to make money, my idea is to make a strong and bigger club, but to make a bigger club, sometimes if a player says I want to go, that’s a different case. For me, if one player changes, it’s not the end of the road.
“I will never want to ruin their career or their mood by pushing them because there is a contract. If Jaden wants to move and says he wants to go somewhere, this is something we cannot do too much because this is his life. I love all of my boys. For me, their life and career, I am respo𝓡nsible too. If they don’t want to play with us, they don’t want to play with us.”

Ilicali haꦯs also previously revealed that he values the winger from ꧋Hammersmith at £30m, Turkish news outlet Sabah: “This will be our policy. Just like Real Madrid bought Arda Guler. We got Jaden Philogene for £5m, now it’s £30m.”
