“We are more optimistic than ever before. We have never been closer to signing him than we are now. It is true that Las Palmas cannot rival some of the other clubs financially, but Jesé’s desire is to come here. We have accelerated things in recent days, we are doing everything in order to reach an agreement between PSG, Las Palmas and the player. We hope that he will be able to play for the team that he wants to play for, for the coming months. His agent, Ginés Carvajal, who is doing fantastic work, will succeed in bringing him to us.”
