Bento:
"I'm sure we are going to lose him.
"Why do I say that? Because of the quality of the teams who are wanting to sign him."
Veloso himself:
"Yet I'm not going to hide the fact that playing alongside Cristiano and Nani is one of my dreams.
"I don't feel there's more at stake in this game for me despite the rumours. I haven't spoken to Manchester United.
"If an English club was interested and a move works for both myself and Sporting then I would listen to offers.
"For me, the Premier League is the best championship in the world.
"The top players are there and it is more competitive than La Liga, where Real Madrid and Barcelona are the main clubs."
Queiroz said yesterday:
"Miguel Veloso has been looked at already.
"We have looked at a lot of players, like Joao Moutinho. Do we like them? Yes, of course. However we cannot work with 200 players."
