"The time of selling important players is over. Now we build a team with the options that the market provides. "One of the objectives we are working on is a winger and we'll try to get that done as quickly as possible. I prefer to wait and bring in the player I really want, rather than to act hastily."Kostas Manolas continues to be linked with a move to Zenit but Monchi does not want the club's defensive options to become any weaker. "We want one more centre-back, without anyone else leaving," he said. "A team is built not on July 1, but at the end of August. Once the transfer window closes, we'll have a very good squad. We are building a team capable of fighting and being competitive." However, the former Sevilla director confessed that Roma's pursuit of forward Gregoire Defrel has been complicated by Sassuolo's asking price."We're a long way off," he said. "We are trying for a player with a similar profile to ours, but he is not the only option. "We had a meeting with Sassuolo but we want to pay the right price. We have no intention of paying over the odds for a player."</blockquote>
