Real Madrid is undergoing a significant transformation under new manager José Mourinho, following Florentino Pérez’s re-election as president. After Mourinho’s appointment, the club is accelerating its transfer strategy to rebuild the team after a disappointing season.

The club is close to securing a deal for Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, with Mourinho reportedly eager to bring the left-back into the squad. The transfer, valued at around €50 million, is expected to be finalized after the 2026 World Cup.

Beyond Cucurella, Real Madrid is also targeting other key players. Bernardo Silva, whose contract with Manchester City expires soon, and Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté are both set to join the Spanish capital after the tournament. Dutch and Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries is another high-profile target in Mourinho’s plans.
