  "account": "Real Madrid has signed Yan Diomande for a potential fee of 140 million, with 125 million fixed and variables. The club has also acquired Denzel Dumfries for 20 million to play as a right-back. Dumfries is 30 years old, which is unusual for Real Madrid's recent focus on young players. Another recent signing, Bernardo Silva, is 32 years old, making him the oldest player to join the club in three decades, following Joselu Mato and Ricardo Carvalho.",
  "summary": "The six players signed after two years of collapse do not represent a revolution in the team. The bet to solve the big holes is called Mourinho.",
