Real Madrid president convinced star attacking quartet will start more games together soon – report According to Defensa Central , Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is convinced that Jose Mourinho could soon field his four main attacking stars together: Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham and Uan Diomande. Mourinho has not regularly started all four at the same time since taking charge, but recent conversations between the Real Madrid president and head coach have indicated that the Portuguese is increasingly open to the possibility. As such, Perez believes that the attacking quartet will soon start playing together more regularly and that they will lead the club to trophies and titles.

Tchouameni and Federico Valverde could provide the defensive base needed to give the forwards greater freedom, although that would raise another question over the role of Arda Guler. Mourinho nevertheless believes there will continue to be opportunities for the Turkish midfielder, whether from the start or as an impact substitute. Diomande pushing for a starting place Diomande’s development is also making the selection decision more complicated. Mourinho is aware that a player who cost €140 million is difficult to leave on the bench, particularly when he is beginning to make an increasing impact on the pitch. Some observers now believe Diomande is even putting pressure on Vinicius for a starting position. According to the report, Mourinho has told Perez that Diomande is in excellent physical condition, training increasingly well, learning quickly and eager to contribute to the team.

While Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius remain central figures in Mourinho’s plans, Diomande could increasingly take minutes away from players such as Guler and Bernardo Silva. Mourinho continues to shape his Real Madrid project With most of the injured players now beginning to return, apart from those facing longer-term absences, Mourinho has more options available as he continues to refine his Real Madrid team. Perez is confident that the Portuguese coach can make full use of a squad assembled with major ambitions. There has been considerable discussion about Real Madrid’s midfield options, but the club continues to trust the players already in the squad. The expectation within the report is that Mourinho will look to combine the attacking quality available to him with greater defensive solidity, with the potential return of Tchouameni providing another option for balancing an ambitious attacking setup.
