La Liga
José Mourinho is ready to return to Real Madrid. Although the official announcement has not yet been made, within the Madrid environment, the operation that will bring the Portuguese coach back to the Santiago Bernabéu for the 2026/27 season is considered completely closed.
And Mourinho will not arrive with the intention of keeping the squad intact. The Portuguese coach is already working with the sports management on a deep restructuring of the team and is very clear that there will be significant departures during the summer. The first major target seems to be Eduardo Camavinga.
Mourinho wants profound changes
Real Madrid's sporting situation over the past two seasons has left significant marks within the club. The lack of titles, internal problems in the dressing room, and the underperformance of several players have led the institution to opt for an aggressive reconstruction.
José Mourinho arrives precisely to lead that change. In Chamartín, they believe that the Portuguese is the ideal coach to restore competitive discipline and raise the internal demands of the group.
The Portuguese coach has already informed Florentino Pérez that he will not hesitate to make tough decisions. The top priority will be to build a committed, intense squad fully aligned with his playing philosophy.
And within that restructuring, there is a name that is surprising due to his youth and potential: Eduardo Camavinga.
Camavinga, at the center of criticism
The season of the French international has been very disappointing. The midfielder never managed to gain competitive continuity and ended up having one of the worst seasons since arriving at Real Madrid.
Injuries, inconsistency, and a lack of real impact in important matches have led to the player losing a lot of weight within the white squad.
The final blow came just a few days ago when Didier Deschamps left Camavinga out of the French squad for the World Cup.
The absence of the midfielder from the World Cup squad was interpreted as a clear sign of the player's poor form. Within Real Madrid, they believe that the Frenchman has been far from the expected level for some time.
Moreover, Mourinho does not completely trust his playing style. The Portuguese believes that the midfielder still shows too many tactical disconnects and inconsistent performance, which is incompatible with the demands of the white club.
Florentino already considers a sale
According to reports circulating within the Madrid environment, José Mourinho has already directly informed Florentino Pérez that he does not count on Eduardo Camavinga for his new project.
The message has been clear: if a significant offer arrives during the summer, the club should facilitate the player's exit.
Real Madrid does not rule out that possibility. Although the Frenchman still enjoys a great international reputation due to his youth and potential, the club understands that it might be the right time to secure a significant sale.
Several Premier League teams are closely monitoring the situation of the midfielder and believe that he still has enough room to regain his best form in a different competitive environment.
For now, Camavinga remains silent as the future of his career starts to become uncertain. The player knows he is going through the most delicate moment since joining Santiago Bernabéu and that Mourinho's arrival could completely change his situation.
The Portuguese coach wants to build a new Real Madrid without concessions. And everything points to Eduardo Camavinga being one of the first victims of the revolution that the Portuguese coach is preparing.
The operation is not yet official, but at Valdebebas, there is already an atmosphere of profound change. Mourinho returns to Real Madrid and is prepared to revolutionize the white dressing room from day one.
