La Liga: ‘I am ready to die for Mourinho’ — Diomande

Real Madrid has signed a marquee player in Yan Diomande, who has expressed his strong admiration for manager José Mourinho. The Ivorian forward was quoted as saying, "When you play for José Mourinho, you want to DIE for him," emphasizing his dedication to the Portuguese manager. Diomande's comments, reported by Fabrizio Romano on X, come after Madrid completed the signing of the young forward from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to €140 million (£120 million) with a seven-year contract.

The young striker insisted that the hefty transfer fee spent on him is a reflection of the club's belief in his ability and that he feels no pressure from the significant financial investment.
