Mourinho is clear: He wants 7 more signings

José Mourinho continues to push to finalize shaping the new Real Madrid transfer plan. The Portuguese coach has already seen the club make significant signings, but he believes that the squad still needs several tweaks to compete effectively from day one.

The idea at Valdebebas is clear: it's not enough to improve some positions; they need to build a stronger, more physical team that is better prepared to dominate in Spain and in Europe once again. In this regard, Florentino Pérez is prepared to make further moves if suitable opportunities arise.

José Mourinho Wants Another Center-Back for Real Madrid

The primary pending goal is in defense. José Mourinho has been asking for another defender right from the start, even after the arrival of Ibrahima Konaté, who was signed until 2030 to strengthen the backline.

Initially, the best fit was Ruben Dias, but Manchester City is not considering an easy departure. Dias is admired for his leadership, solidity, and experience, yet his price and Manchester City's stance make the operation nearly impossible.

Alessandro Bastoni has also been on the table, recognized as one of the most complete left-sided center-backs in Europe. However, Inter Milan values him as a strategic asset and would demand around 70 million euros, a figure that prompts Real Madrid to think twice.

Florentino Pérez Eyes the Midfield

José Mourinho's second major request is in midfield. The coach desires a complete midfielder, capable of defensive work, attacking the opponent's area, and organizing the team with the ball. He seeks not only physicality but also leadership.

The ongoing dream is to land Enzo Fernández. The Argentine from Chelsea possesses nearly all the qualities Mourinho seeks: energy, competitive spirit, good passing, and experience in big matches. However, the financial aspect poses a hurdle due to Chelsea's hefty initial investment in him.

Simultaneously, Real Madrid keeps an eye on Mateus Fernandes, a player who has impressed with his work rate and ability to break lines. At 21 years old, he appears as an immediate future option, though his price tag could be around 80 million euros.

Spain Awaits a More Dominant Project

The Real Madrid market does not pause as the demand in Spain will be intense. After a disappointing season, the club aims for a squad with two players for each position, reducing dependence on players prone to injuries or form fluctuations.

The arrival of Marc Cucurella has altered some defensive plans. The left-back position is now covered, ruling out more versatile profiles like Gvardiol or Calafiori, who could operate both in wide areas and at the center of defense.

Florentino Pérez also holds the vision of securing a significant signing if market conditions allow. The president has explored attacking options and is open to a major investment to enhance the talents of Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham.

The name of Ayyoub Bouaddi remains under internal scrutiny. The young midfielder from Lille is being watched closely by Juni Calafat and represents the kind of strategic opportunity that the club is keen on seizing.

Nevertheless, José Mourinho does not intend to wait too long. The new Real Madrid already has a strong foundation, but additional pieces are needed to shape the team envisioned by the coach. If Florentino Pérez addresses Mourinho's latest requests, Real Madrid could assemble a formidable squad to regain dominance in Spain and contend for top honors in Europe.
