Mourinho Clarifies His Stance on Thiago Peitarc.

Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese manager of Real Madrid, has made his stance clear regarding the future of young midfielder Thiago Pietarch, confirming that the 19-year-old will not leave the club during the upcoming January transfer window, despite earlier speculation linking him with a move away from the team.

Pietarch has delivered impressive performances during the pre-season preparations for the new campaign, which has led Mourinho to admire his potential, seeing him as a player capable of making a real impact in the team's midfield.

According to sources within Real Madrid, Betarch was the player Mourinho referred to when discussing the need for a midfielder capable of performing roles similar to those of Portuguese star Bernardo Silva, clearly indicating the young player's growing importance in the coach's plans.

Jose Mourinho believes that the academy player deserves to be with the first team, which is reflected in his inclusion in the squad's shirt numbers for the current season.

Despite this, Pietarch will wear the number 27 shirt, which means he will be registered with Real Madrid Castilla, while continuing to train and participate according to the needs of the first team's coaching staff.

Pietarch is currently undergoing rehabilitation for a partial tear of the lateral ligament, an injury that is expected to keep him out of action for a month.

Despite his temporary absence, it seems that the injury has not affected Mourinho's conviction in the player's abilities, as the Portuguese coach insists on giving him an important role with the team this season, considering him one of the young elements that can add value to the first team.
