Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa admits he's sorry to have lost Gianni Alioski this summer.
The fullback has left Al-Ahly.
Bielsa said today: "Very sad. Due to the football part of course, but in the humane part specifically, I have a lot of affection for Alioski. I know that he wanted to continue and the club wanted him to continue but after there is negotiations and interests.
"These are mixed with economical things, mixed with things of this nature. To summarise, I think the club wanted him to continue and he wanted to stay and it was a negotiation that didn't crystalise. But it doesn't [end] the link between Alioski and Leeds and Leeds and Alioski."
