Real Madrid Plans Defensive Signings Amid Mourinho's Expected Return and Presidential ElectionPreviousNext

Real Madrid is preparing to strengthen its defense by targeting Dutch full back Denzel Dumfries and French defender Ibrahima Konate ahead of the upcoming season. The club's president, Florentino Perez, who is seeking re-election, has confirmed Konate as a key signing if he retains his position. Meanwhile, former manager Jose Mourinho is expected to return for a second spell, having reportedly agreed to a three-year contract. Perez's rival, Enrique Riquelme, has proposed alternative signings including Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Rodri.
