Real Madrid has initiated direct negotiations to bring José Mourinho back, as confirmed by market specialist Fabrizio Romano in the last hours. After Álvaro Arbeloa's interim period, marked by lack of firmness, Florentino Pérez is looking for a profile that will restore discipline and competitive hunger.

Although Benfica is pressuring to keep the Setúbal coach, the final decision lies solely in the will of the Madrid president to trigger the return. Mourinho, aware of the challenge, has conditioned his landing on a deep restructuring of the squad to reign again in the Champions League.

The Portuguese strategist demands three specific world-class reinforcements to bolster the spine of a team that urgently needs regeneration. The requests include a solid center-back, a midfield architect, and a dagger on the right flank to enhance transitions. These demands aim to eradicate the defensive fragility and lack of fluidity that have burdened the white team during the last twenty-four months of instability.

Real Madrid understands that to regain European glory, a leader is needed who is not afraid to carry out a profound overhaul in the current rotation. The Portuguese coach seeks a project with full sporting powers, where each addition responds to a tactical plan of counterattack and extreme defensive solidity.

Real Madrid and the Cuti Romero wall demanded by Mourinho

The absolute priority of the Portuguese coach is to shore up the defense after the imminent departures of David Alaba and young Raúl Asencio in the summer. Real Madrid needs a field marshal who brings immediate firmness and can alleviate the constant physical doubts surrounding Eder Militao currently. The name topping Mourinho's wish list is Cristian "Cuti" Romero, who is set to leave Tottenham this year.

The Portuguese's plan entails establishing an elite rotation with Dean Huijsen, Antonio Rüdiger, and Militao himself, supported by the youth team. Real Madrid will have to make a significant financial effort to convince Spurs, but Mourinho considers the Argentine the key piece to fortify the area. His aggressiveness and anticipation ability are the virtues that the strategist deems essential to establish his characteristic low and impregnable block on big nights.

The new brain Mourinho desires for Real Madrid

In the engine room, the strategist is looking for a playmaker capable of organizing fast transitions and distributing the game with a privileged spatial vision.

Real Madrid has received a list of luxury candidates featuring names like Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and the big surprise of Sandro Tonali. Mourinho aims to rebuild the Blancos' midfield with a creative profile that dominates the ball and accelerates the pace after each defensive recovery in their own half.

Options for the right winger

The coach's third request is a destabilizing right winger who offsets the offensive weight of the team and dominates space with pure speed.

With Mastantuono on loan and the likely departure of Brahim, Real Madrid is considering names like Iliman Ndiaye, Maghnes Akliouche, or Karim Adeyemi. Mourinho is seeking a profile that is a threat in transitions, allowing the team to be lethal in space and regain the lost verticality.

The fate of the White institution is being decided in these critical hours where Mourinho's charisma and rigor are the great hope. Real Madrid is entering a new era where order and victory must walk hand in hand at the Santiago Bernabéu. The shadow of the Portuguese coach looms over the Spanish capital once again, promising a summer of seismic movements to restore the team to its natural place.

It only remains for Florentino Pérez to take the definitive step for the architect of success to return home and start his rebuilding work. The requirement of three elite signings marks the beginning of a return operation aimed at restoring the pride of the global Madridista fan base.
