Real Madrid coach José Mourinho has praised Lamine Yamal’s quality but ruled out the possibility of signing the Barcelona winger.

Asked about Yamal, Mourinho said the youngster is “a very good player” but made it clear that he would not pursue a move for him.

Fabrizio Romano quoted the Portuguese on X on Thursday as saying: “I won’t sign him. We already have the best players.”Yamal has established himself as one of the most exciting young talents in world football, attracting widespread praise for his ability and performances despite his young age.

However, Mourinho’s comments underline his confidence in the players already available to him. For the Portuguese coach, there appears to be no need to look elsewhere when he believes his current squad already has the quality required to compete at the highest level.
