José Mourinho wants to reduce the Real Madrid squad during this transfer market before the start of the league. The coach currently has 26 players, but his goal is to work with 20 available footballers, in addition to the long-term injured. Camavinga, Mendy, and Raúl Asencio are the main candidates to leave the club.

This decision comes after a summer where Florentino Pérez spent 225 million euros on six signings: Yan Diomande, Marc Cucurella, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, Bernardo Silva, and Carlos Espí. The squad to compete in LaLiga is almost complete, and attention is now on potential departures.

José Mourinho wants a squad of 20 players

The definitive inclusion of Thiago Pitarch in the first team has raised the squad size to 26. Of them, Éder Militao, Ferland Mendy, and Rodrygo are injured, leading José Mourinho to believe there is still an excess of three players.

The coach favors a smaller squad because he has players capable of playing multiple positions. Arda Güler and Bernardo Silva can operate both in attack and midfield, while Jude Bellingham offers various options in midfield. Mourinho has also utilized Denzel Dumfries as a midfielder during training.

This versatility allows the Portuguese coach to maintain his intention of having backup positions without increasing the player count. After not being able to sign Rodri Hernández, Real Madrid currently does not plan to enter the market for another midfielder, although the possibility of recruiting another center-back would depend on a potential departure.

Camavinga, Mendy, and Asencio, waiting for Real Madrid's market

Eduardo Camavinga is one of the players with whom Florentino Pérez could make a significant sale this summer. So far, no major offer has been received for the Frenchman, who has expressed his desire to stay. The club would consider his departure if an offer from a top team arises, although José Mourinho has praised his performance and work during preseason.

The situation with Mendy is different. The left-back remains injured, and there are doubts about his availability due to his physical history. The position also has several alternatives. However, the player does not contemplate leaving Real Madrid in this transfer window.

Raúl Asencio completes the list of pending cases. The defender wanted to impress Mourinho during preseason, but a muscle injury in the rectus femoris will keep him out for approximately six weeks. His absence makes it difficult for any proposals to come before the market closes.

Endrick stays

Endrick's case, however, has been resolved. The club had considered a loan, but that possibility was halted by Mourinho's decision to include the forward for the season.

With the start of LaLiga approaching, the next move depends mainly on potential offers. José Mourinho is content with the current squad, but the departure of Camavinga, Mendy, or Asencio would bring the team closer to the group of 20 available players he aims to manage during the season.
