10 Real Madrid players Mourinho would put up for sale: Mastantuono call | OneFootball

José Mourinho’s return to the Real Madrid bench would be a done deal. After two seasons without titles, the Portuguese coach’s plan would include as many as six signings and an immediate change to the attacking structure that would leave Franco Mastantuono without space, with a loan move emerging as the expected path for next season.

The roadmap includes up to six signings. Two returns appear all but certain: Endrick and Nico Paz, who would return to Real Madrid after their spells at Olympique de Lyon and Como, respectively.

That redesign would require a payment of just nine million euros for the buyback of Nico Paz, and would focus the biggest financial effort on the defense. Another Argentine star is also on the radar: Enzo Fernández.

The Endrick case would involve a change of role. The Brazilian would move to right winger, a position in which he has grown increasingly comfortable after his experience in France.

That adjustment would seek to fix a problem identified during the season: a large part of the attacking unit feels more comfortable starting from the left. With Endrick on the right, the club would gain a less repetitive profile in its forward line.

The direct consequence of that move would be Mastantuono leaving on loan, according to Sport. The club’s idea, according to that report, is to make room for the Brazilian’s return and allow the young Argentine to get more playing time and gain experience at another club.

In line with that report, Diario AS stated that “Franco Mastantuono will leave on loan next season. Madrid’s priority is to loan him within La Liga so they can ‘keep a close eye on him.’”

The restructuring would also affect the current squad: Mundo Deportivo placed 10 players on the transfer list. Among the most notable names are Eduardo Camavinga and Fede Valverde. As for the Frenchman, his performance has been “far below expectations,” according to the outlet. In Valverde’s case, his inclusion on that list would come after the incident with Tchouameni.

The report adds that the club would have no trouble finding destinations for them and obtaining a significant fee for both. Those names are joined by Dani Ceballos, Andriy Lunin, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Gonzalo, Fran García and Vinicius.

Regarding Vinicius, the club’s intention would be to sell him now. If that departure does not happen, the same report adds, the club would not renew a contract that expires in June 2027. But what will happen if the Brazilian forward shines with his national team at the 2026 World Cup?

It is worth recalling Real Madrid’s forgettable season, in which they were knocked out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals by Bayern Munich. The same happened in the Copa del Rey, where they lost 3-2 to Albacete (Second Division) in the round of 16. And in the closing stretch of the Spanish championship, they stumbled to a 2-0 defeat against Barcelona, who were crowned champions of the Spanish league. Finishing as runners-up only serves as a statistic for Los Blancos, considering the quality of the star names in their squad.
