Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho says he did not personally ask for the signing of Yan Diomandé ahead of the club’s summer preparations. Speaking as Real Madrid look toward their return to La Liga, Mourinho states that while he was not the one who requested the player, he is still pleased with the move.
Across the two outlets, Mourinho’s comments focus on his role in the recruitment process and the club’s overall planning. Both reports describe Diomandé as a young, versatile attacker who can operate on more than one flank. The articles also highlight that Diomandé’s recent performances have drawn attention, including his output during his time in the Bundesliga.
While Yahoo Sports and Times of India do not frame the remarks in the same way beyond the central point, both agree that Mourinho views the signing as a positive addition to his options. They present the acquisition as part of Real Madrid’s broader squad-building rather than a deal Mourinho specifically sought for himself.
