José Mourinho has pointed out Ferland Mendy, Raúl Asencio, Eduardo Camavinga, Franco Mastantuono, Endrick, and Gonzalo García as possible departures in this Real Madrid's transfer market. The club will consider transfers and loans before the start of LaLiga, although the formula for several cases is still pending.

The list is a response to the intention of reducing a squad that can still welcome new reinforcements. Mourinho is assessing the players during the preseason, and some profiles do not fit into the model he aims to implement in his return to the Madrid bench.

José Mourinho activates an outgoing operation involving six names

Ferland Mendy is among the players with more chances of leaving the team. The full-back is competing for a spot in a squad that has added new defensive pieces, and the club is considering a departure to free up sporting and wage space.

Raúl Asencio is also on the list. The center-back has been involved in the preparations and took on defensive responsibilities in the friendly match won 4-1 against Leganés, but the increased competition reduces his opportunities for playing time.

The cases of Eduardo Camavinga and Franco Mastantuono still require a joint decision between the club and José Mourinho. Camavinga was used as a central midfielder during the preseason, while Mastantuono needs minutes to complete his development and could be loaned out without a buy option.

Endrick and Gonzalo García complete the six names. The Brazilian needs continuous game time after playing a secondary role, while the academy player has offers after increasing his involvement with the first team.

The future of both forwards will also depend on potential attacking reinforcements. Real Madrid cannot add another striker without reducing the number of available players in that position first.

Florentino Pérez must resolve the cases of Vinicius and Tchouaméni

The outgoing operation is not limited to the six mentioned players. Florentino Pérez must resolve two cases with a greater sporting and economic impact: Vinicius Junior and Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Arsenal has a genuine interest in Vinicius, whose contract runs until 2027. The English club is considering intervening if the Brazilian does not extend his contract, although there is no formal negotiation yet with the Madrid entity.

The upcoming Monday is marked as a significant date because Vinicius is due to return to training. From then on, the player will have to make progress in his renewal or indicate if he is willing to consider a departure during the month of August.

Manchester United, on the other hand, is monitoring Tchouaméni's situation. The composition of the midfield and potential arrivals will determine if Florentino Pérez considers a proposal for the French international.

Real Madrid will accelerate its decisions before LaLiga begins

José Mourinho has the next few weeks to complete the squad evaluation. The outcome of the preseason will not solely decide the departures, but playing time, position competition, and offers received will define which players continue.

The next step will come with Vinicius' return and the planned meetings to organize each case. While Florentino Pérez resolves the two main operations, Real Madrid will seek destinations for the six players included in José Mourinho's list before the start of LaLiga.
