Real Madrid is studying the signing of Manuel Locatelli, a 28-year-old midfielder from Juventus, this summer. One of José Mourinho's main requests is a central midfielder who can organize the team with the ball.

The Real Madrid board places the Italian international on their list of alternatives for the midfield after the failed arrival of Rodri, with any move dependent on the prior departure of Eduardo Camavinga or Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Manuel Locatelli's profile for José Mourinho's setup

The Juventus captain, at 28 years old, stands out for his ability to position himself between the center-backs and maintain continuity with short passing in the midfield. He is a game organizer who can provide solutions with the ball to any team in the world. José Mourinho favors the Italian option as a more cost-effective resource than pursuing a Spanish midfielder to orchestrate play in the midfield.

The Juventus player's focus lies in distributing the ball ahead of the defensive line. The Real Madrid sporting management sees Locatelli's profile as fitting the team's needs to manage game tempo during the 2026/2027 season.

The condition of Real Madrid: prior sale of Camavinga or Tchouaméni

To start formal negotiations with Juventus, Real Madrid needs to first finalize the transfer of Eduardo Camavinga or Aurélien Tchouaméni. The presence of both French midfielders in Valdebebas impedes liquidity and space in the squad to incorporate a new central midfielder.

Despite Mourinho's interest in the Italian player, the board will not make an offer to Turin until one of the midfield spots is freed up. Camavinga's decision to reject offers in this transfer window limits the club's room for maneuver in Serie A.

Real Madrid's board will await the resolution of the future of their French midfielders before August 15. If the departure of one of the midfielders materializes, Real Madrid will initiate contact with Manuel Locatelli's agents to formalize the first offer to Juventus.
