Real Madrid are already planning for next season under the guidance of their new head coach, José Mourinho. The Portuguese strategist, who is set to complete his long-awaited return to the Madrid bench, has made a clear assessment of the squad’s shortcomings and has established the top priorities for the summer transfer window.
To bring balance to an unbalanced squad, Mourinho has made the signing of players in five key positions a top priority: two centre-backs, a right-back, a midfielder and a striker. The Portuguese coach’s aim is to shore up the defensive structure and add more options in attack, ensuring the level of competitiveness needed to challenge for every title again.
Despite the strong desire to revamp the team, the Real Madrid board have made it clear that carrying out this ambitious plan will depend strictly on the outgoing transfer operation. The club will consider new signings based on the income generated and the wage space freed up by players who are sold this summer, ushering in a period of intense negotiations at Valdebebas.
