José Mourinho has sent a strong message regarding Brahim Díaz’s future at Real Madrid,
indicating that he has no desire to see the Moroccan international leave the club this summer.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s clash with Real Sociedad, Mourinho was asked whether his squad was now complete.
- “For me, yes, it is final. But the transfer window is still open. Nothing is certain,” Mourinho said.
Mourinho Wants to Keep His Squad Together
The Portuguese coach acknowledged that unexpected situations could still arise during the transfer window, particularly if a player decides he wants to leave after struggling for regular minutes.
- “What if a player tells me he wants to leave because I have kept him on the bench for two matches?” Mourinho said.
However, he made his own position perfectly clear: he wants to keep the squad together.
- “If someone leaves, I won’t be happy. I want to keep this squad,” he added.
Brahim Díaz Remains Part of the Plans
Mourinho’s comments represent an important indication for Brahim Díaz, who faces strong competition for places within Real Madrid’s attacking ranks.
Despite potentially starting some matches from the bench, the Moroccan international remains part of Mourinho’s plans for the season.
The coach’s desire to maintain the current squad suggests that Díaz will continue to have an opportunity to compete for his place and make an impact throughout the campaign.
A Clear Message Ahead of the Season
With the transfer window still open, Real Madrid could yet receive offers for several players.
Mourinho, however, appears determined to avoid unnecessary changes to a squad he believes is capable of competing at the highest level.
For Brahim Díaz, that could mean another important season at the Santiago Bernabéu, with Mourinho making it clear that his place in the squad is not up for discussion.
