It’s the big day. This Tuesday, several Iberian media announced in unison that Real Madrid will formalize the great return of José Mourinho through a press release. This is not really a surprise since Florentino Pérez spilled the beans during his electoral campaign and then during his re-election as president of Casa Blanca. The Portuguese will therefore experience a new adventure in the Spanish capital with new players, he who at the time managed Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. This time, he will work with Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham.
The Special One will also collaborate with Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries, who will strengthen the defense. A sector which is the weak point of the Merengues according to Mourinho. He is also awaiting new reinforcement at the left-back position. Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal) is his dream recruit for this position. The versatile Joško Gvardiol (Manchester City) is also followed. In the midfield, one to two players are expected. The names of Bernardo Silva (Man City, at the end of his contract), Vitinha (PSG), João Neves (PSG), Enzo Fernández (Chelsea) and even Nico Paz are mentioned. In attack, it is not completely excluded that a player arrives.
Mourinho decided for 6 players
Michael Olise (Bayern Munich) and Julián Álvarez (Atlético de Madrid) are cited in the press. One of them is perhaps the €150 million recruit promised by Pérez during the elections. Yesterday, El Desmarque has also revealed that this XXL transfer could have repercussions on certain players in the squad, who could be sacrificed. This Tuesday, we have a slightly clearer idea of the elements that could go away. Radio Marcathrough the voice of journalist Ramon Álvarez de Mon, reveals that José Mourinho already has a blacklist of players on whom he does not intend to rely and for whom the door is therefore open.
There are 6 of them. Thus, we find Franco Mastantuono. The Argentinian did not convince during his first season. A loan is the option considered by everyone. Villarreal is already in the running. Fran Garcia, Raul Asensio and Dani Ceballos, who is heading to Ajax, are also in his sights. We also find Eduardo Camavinga. For a long time, Real Madrid considered him untouchable, despite a difficult season. The Special One is clearly not a fan. More surprising, the name of Rodrygo is mentioned. The Brazilian is currently injured and out for several months. But his future coach, who has already spoken with several players, has made it known that he is not part of his plans. The first victims of the Lusitano coach are therefore known.
