José Mourinho does not consider the transfer market of Real Madrid closed. The Portuguese coach believes that the squad has taken a significant step forward with the incoming transfers already in place, but he still sees three positions to strengthen in order to compete with maximum guarantees: a center-back, a midfielder, and a striker.

The departure of Nico Paz has facilitated the departure operations and confirms that important movements are still to come in Valdebebas. Florentino Pérez aims to keep the club active in the market, although the coach is not asking for a galactic star, but specific pieces to balance a squad that aims high in LaLiga and in Europe.

José Mourinho wants another center-back to fortify Real Madrid

Defense remains a concern for José Mourinho. The signing of Ibrahima Konaté strengthens the backline, but the Portuguese believes that the defensive line still needs one more piece due to the physical issues faced by Antonio Rüdiger and Éder Militao. The goal is to have a long, reliable, and competitive rotation.

The identified player is Alessandro Bastoni, a center-back from Inter Milan and one of the most highly valued defenders on the continent. However, his arrival would directly depend on the exit of Raúl Asencio, a player who does not fit into the coach's main plans and who could free up both space and finances.

If Asencio decides to stay, Real Madrid will not make a move for Bastoni. In that scenario, the Canarian would occupy the fifth position in the center-back rotation, albeit with few chances of regular playtime. The club's priority is not to accumulate players without clear roles in a demanding season.

Florentino Pérez and the midfield: Enzo Fernández, the top desire

In midfield, the player who most appeals to José Mourinho is Enzo Fernández. The Argentine from Chelsea embodies the profile sought by the coach: intensity, range, quality for organization, and the ability to support in big matches. It may not be a minor operation, but the coaching staff considers it a differential signing.

For this move to progress, an important midfielder must first be sold. Eduardo Camavinga is one of the mentioned names, although the Frenchman has no intention of leaving. Aurélien Tchouaméni also emerges as a potential option to create space and finance part of an operation that would require a substantial investment.

Florentino Pérez knows that any arrival of that level would necessitate making painful decisions. The squad is abundantly talented, but not everyone can get minutes. This is one of the key aspects of the summer: selling well before making strong acquisitions.

A target man striker, the least clear request

The third request from José Mourinho is a traditional center forward. Not a flashy star signing or a headlining transfer, but a tall striker with experience capable of deciding tight matches. Similar to what Joselu once offered.

The situation of Gonzalo García impacts this search. The coach initially halted his departure due to the club's reluctance to sign another striker, but it is not ruled out that the youth academy player might leave in search of more playing time. If that happens, Real Madrid would have the green light to pursue a rotational attacker.

In LaLiga, these profiles are often pivotal in tight matches, especially when opponents shut down near the box. Mourinho seeks alternatives, height, and experience. Not everything can be solved with speed, individual talent, or playing between the lines.

Real Madrid has not yet completed its transfer market

Beyond these three requests, there is a difference in approach between the bench and the presidency. José Mourinho prioritizes competitive balance, while Florentino Pérez does not rule out an exciting signing for the fans. Michael Olise has been one of the most frequently mentioned names in that scenario.

The summer promises more developments at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid has already made bold moves but must sell before finalizing the squad. José Mourinho is clear about what is missing, and the club is working to provide him with a deeper, more physical team ready to challenge for all titles.
