Jose Mourinho is reportedly working with a clear vision of how he wants to shape Real Madrid for the new season, focusing on fast, direct, and high-intensity football across every area of the pitch.
According to Diario AS, the Portuguese manager is satisfied with the current core of the squad but believes several new signings are still needed during the transfer window to fully adapt the team to his footballing philosophy, reports Klankosova.tv.
One of the key names in Mourinho’s project is Yan Diomande. The young talent is seen as a player capable of bringing pace, physical strength, and explosiveness to the attacking line—qualities that the Portuguese coach considers essential to making Real Madrid more dangerous in the final third.
The same report states that players gradually returning from their post-World Cup holidays are being introduced individually to Mourinho’s new tactical ideas.
The manager is explaining to each player how he wants the team to function, emphasizing vertical football, quick ball circulation, and rapid counter-attacks.
However, Real Madrid’s work in the transfer market is far from over. The club’s hierarchy are expected to continue pursuing new signings until the transfer window closes, with the aim of providing Mourinho with the squad he wants.
The report adds that the club’s top priority remains the signing of Rodri from Manchester City.
Before making further moves in the transfer market, Real Madrid intend to offload several players from the squad.
Once those departures are completed, Los Blancos are also expected to pursue a new central defender, with Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni regarded as one of the leading candidates to strengthen the team’s defensive line.
