This summer, significant changes are anticipated at Real Madrid, notably with the expected arrival of José Mourinho. To restore the Casa Blanca to its competitive peak, the ‘Special One’ is poised to demand several key transfers, some of which may prove challenging. The Portuguese coach reportedly aims to bring in his compatriot, the influential Paris Saint-Germain midfielder, Vitinha.

After a season without silverware, Real Madrid is determined to reclaim its dominant position next season. This new chapter will unfold without Alvaro Arbeloa, who confirmed his departure from the Madrid club this Friday during a press conference held on the eve of their final home match of the season against Athletic Bilbao. Arbeloa expressed his deep connection to the club, stating, « I hope this is merely a farewell. Real has been my home for two decades, serving in various capacities. This will be my last match on the bench this season; I’m unsure if it will be my last ever, as one never truly knows. But I intend to savor it, hoping for a victory. »
Mourinho’s anticipated return to Madrid
While Alvaro Arbeloa’s departure was announced this Friday, Real Madrid has reportedly moved swiftly in its search for a new leader. For several weeks, the Spanish giants have been in discussions with one prominent figure: José Mourinho. Latest information suggests a deal has already been finalized, paving the way for the Portuguese manager’s return to Madrid, marking his second tenure after his initial spell from 2010 to 2013.
Mourinho targets Vitinha for midfield strength
Upon his homecoming to Real Madrid, José Mourinho is expected to build a highly competitive squad, indicating a busy summer transfer window for the Spanish club. The Madrid hierarchy is said to be seeking reinforcements across nearly all positions. In the midfield, Vitinha has reportedly captured the attention of the ‘Special One’. For a revamped squad, the Portuguese coach is understood to envision bringing in another compatriot, Vitinha, currently a pivotal figure for Paris Saint-Germain. While PSG holds Vitinha in extremely high regard, making a transfer challenging, speculation suggests that a second Champions League title for the midfielder could potentially open the door for him to seek a new challenge and an opportunity elsewhere.
