Diomande's Agent Reveals Mourinho's Key Role in Transfer

Nathan Campbell, the agent of player Yan Deumandi, revealed that Portuguese coach José Mourinho played a crucial role in finalizing the transfer, having successfully convinced the player during a direct call that left a significant impact on his decision.

Campbell explained, in remarks reported by journalist Mario Cortegana, that Mourinho spoke to Diomande fluently in French, which surprised the player and those around him, especially since the Portuguese coach has never worked in Ligue 1.

The player's agent added that Mourinho not only communicated with Diomande but also dedicated time to explain his tactical vision, discussing the team's project, the expected role for the player, and how he would integrate into the group, in a message that reflected his keen interest in finalizing the deal.

Campbell stressed that the call was a turning point in the negotiations, confirming that Mourinho's personal intervention was the most influential factor in convincing Diomande to agree to the deal.
