José Mourinho is not yet back at Real Madrid. But his comeback is imminent. During the night, Onda Cero clarified that the Portuguese technician will sign a two-year contract (plus an optional year, editor’s note) and will be presented to the press once Florentino Pérez is confirmed as president of Casa Blanca. Which does not prevent him from already working on the contours of Real Madrid version 2026-27. Regarding the transfer window, the Portuguese wishes in particular to strengthen the defensive sector, both in the center and in the full-back positions on both the right and the left.
A recruit is also hoped for in the midfield. Yesterday, the name of Morten Hjulmand (26), captain of Sporting CP, was put forward. The track leading to Rodri (29 years old) is also cited by the Iberian press. There Cadena SER specifies that the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium have not yet contacted the Manchester City star. Finally, José Mourinho also wants to bring new blood to Madrid. However, the Merengues already have plenty to do with Kylian Mbappé and even Endrick, who will return after a generally successful loan to OL.
Mourinho targets two known attackers
But the Brazilian could help out on the right, which he did in Lyon. Still in the middle, Gonzalo Garcia is getting closer to a start. The Spanish club opened the door for him and big players, including BVB, are already there. José Mourinho therefore wants an additional number 9 in the axis to replace and/or compete with Kylian Mbappé. In the night, El Chiringuito revealed the names of the two attackers that the technician appreciates. They are Victor Osimhen (27 years old) and Dusan Vlahovic (26 years old). The first plays in Galatasaray. Club with which he scored 22 goals and delivered 8 assists in 33 appearances in all competitions.
His goalscoring skills and experience are appreciated. The former Napoli player is under contract until June 2029 in Istanbul. He is Mourinho’s first option. As far as Vlahovic is concerned, this is a market opportunity. The Serbian is coming to the end of his contract at Juventus. Author of 8 goals and 2 assists in 22 appearances in all competitions this season, he is being watched. This desire to recruit a new attacker is not good news for Kylian Mbappé, who will have a competitor on his hands. This is also bad news for other elements like Endrick. But Mourinho wants to bring more competition to allow the Madrilenians to return to the top.
