José Mourinho does not consider the white squad completed and has asked for one final effort in defense. The new coach of Real Madrid understands that the defense needs one more piece to compete with guarantees in a demanding season, with LaLiga, Champions League, and Copa on the horizon.

The plan is to reinforce the core of the defense after the injury of Nico Schlotterbeck in the World Cup. Three weighty names appear there: Riccardo Calafiori, Rúben Dias, and Piero Hincapié, different profiles but with a common idea: to raise the physical and competitive level of the team.

José Mourinho wants a new defense

José Mourinho's priority is clear. He wants a dominant center-back, capable of supporting the team in open play and coexisting with a more aggressive defensive line. It's not just about adding depth but about reshaping the block.

Calafiori, 24 years old, would bring clean ball distribution, personality, and the ability to also play as a full-back. Hincapié, also 24 years old, offers speed, left foot, and experience in high-pressure situations. Rúben Dias, at 29 years old, would be the most mature option.

The Portuguese from Manchester City is the most distinguished name, but also the most complex in terms of salary and price. His connection with Jorge Mendes's circle could help, but we are talking about a very high economic-level operation.

Real Madrid does not rule out the madness of Olise

Real Madrid works cautiously, but without shutting any doors. The option of Michael Olise remains the great dream for the final stretch of the market, although the club acknowledges that taking him from Bayern would be a very challenging operation.

The French forward, 24 years old, is coming off a spectacular season, and his price has skyrocketed. In England and Germany, he is seen as one of the most disruptive talents of the moment, a player capable of changing games from the right-wing.

The white direction knows that to attempt such a move before the market closes, significant departures would have to be balanced. Hence, the center-back seems more urgent, while the offensive cherry on top remains a remote but not impossible possibility.

The Premier League influences prices

The Premier League sets the pace for almost all major operations. English clubs sell dearly, pay strongly, and force the rest of the European giants to move with great precision. This affects both Rúben Dias and any well-established alternative.

In the case of Calafiori and Hincapié, competition can also be high. They are young, left-footed center-backs with international market appeal, precisely the type of profile that fits elite projects and rarely appears at a reasonable price.

José Mourinho intensifies before the start of LaLiga

José Mourinho's return to the white bench has brought a very specific idea: to compete from solidity. The coach does not want a meaningless large squad but rather players prepared to take on responsibilities in big nights.

The planning now enters a delicate phase. First, exits must be resolved, and then the extent to which investments can be stretched must be decided. A center-back seems to be the real priority; Olise, the dream that would only come to life with an unexpected opportunity.

José Mourinho wants his new project to start strong from the back. If the club manages to secure another top-notch defender, the team will kick off LaLiga with a much more solid structure and with the feeling that there might still be a market coup in store.
