Lopez told La Provence: “If I expected Kamara to leave? Sure. We talk to each other every day. Even without that, I knew he wouldn't stay. People find it hard to understand that sometimes we come to the end of a cycle. For our life as a man and as a family, sometimes it feels good to leave. This departure will do him good. He will change countries. He told me he spoke a little better English than before. Steven Gerrard likes him a lot, Aston Villa is having a good transfer window.

"If I am surprised by the destination? No way. All clubs are equal. Before I went there, nobody knew Sassuolo. Everyone saw me end up in anonymity. In the end, I did things well. The Premier League is very followed, the level is very high. Maybe people think he deserved better. But we don't know everything that happens next.

"His refusal to extend? It's none of my business.

"What's not nice is that we heard a lot of things afterwards. Bouba loves OM, his city. He wished he had done things a little better. But sometimes you can't."
