There were rumours which suggested that Fabio Coentrao is currently not happy at Madrid and will be leaving in the upcoming January transfer window, but Mourinho denied all such rumours.
Fabio Coentrao was signed by Real Madrid back in 2011 and since then he has only given 35 appearances for the Spanish club. Therefore, rumours suggest that the Portuguese player might leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Portuguese full-back was signed by Jose Mourinho to give competition to the Brazilian full-back, Marcelo, who was not performing at this level during that season.
Since Marcelo was not at his best, Coentrao was played by Jose Mourinho in the left-back role, but even he could not solve Real Madrid’s defensive problems.
Later, Mourinho started using Coentrao as a holding midfielder who played alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325.
However, even in the new-found role, the Portuguese star could not work perfectly while playing for Real Madrid and soon, Jose Mourinho decided to bench him.
It has been long since Coentrao has given a first-team appearance for Los Blancos, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 is currently performing phenomenally for the Spanish champions.
As the Brazilian full-back is getting things done for his side, there are less chances of Fabio Coentrao getting a place in the first-team any time soon.
Therefore, there were rumours which suggested that the Portuguese full-back might leave Real Madrid in the upcoming January transfer window, but Jose Mourinho recently denied all such rumours.
While speaking about the situation of Coentrao, Jose Mourinho said:
“We are in a time that is very easy for the Press to invent stories and lie. Coentrao is not going through an easy time, but it is totally impossible for him to leave in January for Benfica.”
“We thought that Carvalho wanted to go because we have a great couple of centre-backs and two great deputies, but in the end he decided to stay.”
“For us there is no problem, perhaps he does so because he wants to play more.”
