Diomande Ready to Give Everything for Mourinho at Madrid

Yan Diomande, a marquee signing for Real Madrid, has publicly expressed his strong admiration for manager José Mourinho, stating, “When you play for José Mourinho, you want to DIE for him. I am ready to die for him.” Diomande, an Ivorian forward, emphasized that he feels no pressure from the significant transfer fee of up to €140 million (£120 million) that Real Madrid paid to acquire him from RB Leipzig.

He believes the investment reflects the club's confidence in his abilities rather than a source of anxiety. Diomande stated, “They spent a lot of money because they believe in me; why will I be scared?

I’m not scared; I feel no pressure. I will do what I do, and God will do the rest.” The young forward signed a seven-year contract at the Santiago Bernabéu, underscoring his determination to justify the club's investment and establish himself in his new environment.
