Real Madrid is keeping an eye on Renato Veiga, a 22-year-old left-footed center-back from Villarreal, in this summer transfer market at the direct request of José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach wants to have a strong rotation to compete for all titles.

The sports management of the Madrid entity values the addition of the Portuguese international, valued at €30.00 million on Transfermarkt and under contract in Castellón until June 2032, as a replacement to strengthen the defense for the upcoming season.

José Mourinho's Request: The Signing of Renato Veiga

As reported by journalist Ben Fernandes Santos, Real Madrid's interest responds to José Mourinho's desire to have a promising left defender for rotation in LaLiga and the Champions League. The center-back, with previous experience at Juventus, joined Villarreal in August 2025 and has earned 18 caps and scored one goal with the Portugal national team.

The player's performance metrics at the Estadio de la Cerámica have convinced the white scouting area to place him among the top priorities in case they enter the market. With a market value of €30.00 million, the player fits the club's strategy of signing young talents to strengthen the defensive line.

Raúl Asencio's Departure as a Prerequisite at Real Madrid

Despite the monitoring carried out on the Villarreal player, the operation is subject to exit movements within the Real Madrid squad. The arrival of Veiga will only be officially activated if Raúl Asencio's departure, a central figure on the list of departures planned by the coaching staff for the 2026/2027 season, is finalized.

The Madrid leadership will withhold any formal offer until Asencio's future is resolved in this transfer period. If the academy player confirms his transfer to another club in the coming weeks, the board will start formal negotiations with the Villarreal officials to discuss the transfer of the Portuguese defender.

Real Madrid will await the resolution of the existing offers for Raúl Asencio during the first days of August 2026. Several LaLiga clubs have shown interest, taking into account the player's intention to go out on loan to get more playing time.

Once this defensive spot is freed, the Real Madrid board will engage with Villarreal's top executives to establish the economic conditions for Renato Veiga's transfer before the start of the official competition.
