Real Madrid's head coach Jose Mourinho would not want to sign young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.

When asked about the Catalan team's winger, the Portuguese praised the player's exceptional abilities but stated that the Spaniard would be unnecessary for his team.

"Would I sign a contract with L. Yamal and invite him to Real?"

No. He is a great player, but we have a very good team," declared J. Mourinho.

Thus, the Portuguese definitively silenced the rumors that had begun to circulate about Real's interest in the world-class star.
