Real Madrid<\/a> had an explosive summer transfer window with as many as six new big signings coming through to strengthen the first-team squad, while Sergio Martinez was also roped in with an eye on the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Up until Friday, things were going well for Jose Mourinho & co., but the 1-0 loss to Real Betis has put the team under the scanner once again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Questions are being asked, in particular, of the club\u2019s most explosive signing, Yan Diomande<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mourinho not changing plans with Diomande<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

However, according to journalist Alvaro Esteban<\/a>, Mourinho will continue with the plan of integrating Diomande slowly into the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Real Madrid boss does not want the 19-year-old winger to be negatively affected by his massive price tag this summer and the pressure generated because of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After all, Los Blancos<\/em> shelled out an enormous \u20ac125 million plus \u20ac15 million in add-ons to sign Diomande from RB Leipzig. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Should all the variables be met, he will become the most expensive signing in Real Madrid history. And, naturally, such a price tag brings with it a great deal of pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As such, Mourinho wants to make sure that the Ivory Coast international is not affected in any way by the talk around his price tag and will continue to ease him into the team without rushing things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Only a handful of minutes for Diomande<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

So far, Real Madrid have played four La Liga<\/a> games this season and Diomande has not started even one of them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Instead, Mourinho has opted to field Arda Guler on the right wing in three matches while Brahim Diaz started in the remaining one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for Diomande, he has come on as a substitute in each of the four games, but has only racked up a total of 83 minutes, without scoring or assisting a goal so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But, his limited minutes and slow integration are seemingly a part of Mourinho\u2019s plans who is intent on not overexposing the teenage winger and put him under undue pressure due to the expectations that come with his price tag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
