Mourinho already preparing Real Madrid clean-up

José Mourinho is already working behind the scenes to define the new project of Real Madrid, always conditioned by the electoral result of Florentino Pérez. The Portuguese coach wants a shorter, competitive, and obedient squad. His first decision would be to initiate a significant departures operation.

Mourinho does not intend to arrive at Valdebebas to manage an oversized squad. His idea is to reduce pieces and gain internal control. The coach is immersed in the Real Madrid's transfer market and is aware that he needs more specific profiles, with clear roles and fewer players caught between starting and substitutes.

That's why several names are already marked in red. Dani Ceballos, Fran García, Eduardo Camavinga, and Franco Mastantuono would be on that list. Not all of them would leave under the same formula. Some could be transferred, while others could be open to a loan to avoid losing market value.

Mourinho wants to make quick decisions. He understands that LaLiga demands a balanced squad from August onwards and not a team awaiting the market. The return of the Portuguese, if confirmed, would not be a sentimental operation. He would arrive with authority, demands, and changes from day one.

Florentino Pérez conditions the future of the dugout

Mourinho's arrival depends directly on Florentino Pérez. If the current president wins the elections, the move would be practically on track. Benfica has already set the amount needed to free the coach from his contract at 15 million euros.

That figure does not scare Real Madrid, which interprets Mourinho's return as a strong bet to regain competitive intensity. Florentino Pérez knows that the Portuguese coach divides opinions, but also that he delivers a strong message during the election campaign.

His return would imply a change in tone. Less patience with certain profiles and more weight for players adapted to extreme daily demands. In this context, Camavinga's situation is especially surprising. The Frenchman has talent, but Mourinho may not see him as an essential piece.

Ceballos, Fran García, and Mastantuono, names on the scene

Dani Ceballos finds himself in a delicate area once again. His quality is never in question, but his continuity always raises suspicions. Fran García could also consider proposals. The full-back has not fully established himself as an undisputed starter, and the club is considering alternatives.

The case of Mastantuono would be different. The Argentine represents the future, but Mourinho might prefer him to accumulate minutes away from the Bernabéu. Real Madrid does not want to undersell assets. The idea would be to organize each case and decide between sale, loan, or conditional stay.

LaLiga expects a tougher and more selective Madrid

Mourinho wants a recognizable team to compete in LaLiga from the first match day. His recipe involves pressure, character, and tactical discipline. The Portuguese coach has always advocated for hungry squads. Talent alone is not enough for him without collective commitment and defensive response.

For Florentino Pérez, the bet would also have political implications. Presenting Mourinho with a clear list of decisions would reinforce his message of authority. Therefore, the white market will not only focus on signings but will also be marked by sensitive departures and decisions with significant media impact.

LaLiga might encounter a more rugged, pragmatic, and competitive Real Madrid, constructed under a very defined idea. José Mourinho wants to start by cleaning up the dressing room, and his potential return to Real Madrid already threatens to change the future of several players.
