Jose Mourinho is already planning a overhaul of Real Madrid.

(NLĐO) - Although not yet officially in charge, Jose Mourinho is said to have already begun planning the rebuilding of Real Madrid as soon as the season ended.

According to Spanish media, Portuguese strategist Jose Mourinho has submitted a proposal to the Real Madrid board outlining areas for strengthening in the upcoming transfer window. Mourinho did not name any specific players, but focused on identifying areas that need reinforcement to improve the team's competitiveness.

Jose Mourinho was not welcomed by everyone upon his return to Madrid this time.

The plan reportedly includes four to six new signings, with a focus on defense. Mourinho wants Real Madrid to recruit one or two more central defenders, one or two full-backs, and add a defensive midfielder and a creative midfielder to increase squad depth.

Real Madrid will certainly part ways with David Alaba and Dani Carvajal, while Eder Militao is frequently injured, so strengthening the central defense and right-back is essential. The midfield is where Mourinho wants to make the most changes.

Dani Ceballos and Eduardo Camavinga are likely to have their contracts terminated. "The Special One" wants one or two defensive midfielders who can complement Tchouameni. The French player is strong in tackling but his ball-carrying ability is still limited.

Dani Ceballos and Eduardo Camavinga are definitely going to leave.

The aforementioned demands partly reflect the personnel issues that Real Madrid may face in the near future. The future of some key players remains uncertain, while many positions are considered to require more competition to maintain professional quality throughout the season.

Besides untouchable stars like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham, the Portuguese coach also requested that Real Madrid retain several other players such as Aurelien Tchouameni and Anton Rudiger.

Alexander-Arnold will face fierce competition for the right-back position.

Another noteworthy point is that Mourinho demanded two crucial conditions from the Real Madrid management. Firstly, the Portuguese coach had to have a say in player transfers, and secondly, he had full authority to build the team according to his own style, not based on anyone else's direction. Mourinho might not have requested a specific player, but Real Madrid's scouting team had to bring in a player who would play in the exact position he desired.

Mourinho failed to achieve his aspirations in his first stint managing Real Madrid more than 10 years ago.

If the "scenario" of Mourinho returning to Bernabeu becomes a reality, it would be his second time managing the Spanish capital club. Between 2010 and 2013, Mourinho created one of the most combative Real Madrid teams in modern history. Under his leadership, the team won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, and repeatedly engaged in fierce competition with Pep Guardiola's Barcelona.

However, European football has changed significantly compared to over a decade ago. The pressure to perform at Real Madrid is increasing, especially in the Champions League.

Any coach who takes the hot seat at Bernabeu faces the expectation of winning titles immediately.

President Perez's backing wasn't enough to bring Mourinho back.

Up to this point, the possibility of Mourinho returning to Real Madrid remains purely speculative. Enrique Riquelme, a rival of "boss" Florentino Perez in the upcoming presidential election, has bluntly stated that he is not a "fan" of Jose Mourinho and has a different vision for the Real Madrid coaching position.
