Mourinho: I didn't ask to sign Diomande, but I need him

Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho has shared his thoughts on the recent signing of Jan Diomande. "Vershkovi" acquired the 19-year-old winger from RB Leipzig at the beginning of the month for 125 million euros, excluding bonus payments. "I didn't ask to sign Diomande, but I wanted to see him in the team. Ian is a great footballer who can play on both flanks of the attack," Mourinho told El Chiringuito. Real have also lured Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahim Konate, Bernardo Silva, Marc Cucurella and Carlos Espy to their ranks this summer, paying a total of around €225 million for the newcomers. We will remind, Jose Mourinho returned to the Royal Club in June.
