Real Madrid is facing an imminent revolution following another humiliation in El Clásico, where they lost to Barcelona once again, handing over the league title once more and definitively burying a season to forget at the Santiago Bernabéu. The big question now in Madrid is: what will change next season to restore the prestige and dominance of the merengues?
All signs point to a radical change in the coaching staff. Álvaro Arbeloa is not expected to continue, and what was merely a rumor two weeks ago has become, for many, the only logical solution for the club: the hiring of José Mourinho. President Florentino Pérez has reportedly decided that Mourinho is the absolute priority to take over the team this summer. According to sources close to the club, Pérez is preparing to officially communicate this decision to the board of directors of Real Madrid soon.
Despite Mourinho continuing to deny any direct contact with Real Madrid, the truth is that negotiations between agent Jorge Mendes and the club seem to be progressing rapidly. Spanish media, including the daily AS, report that Mourinho has already set two clear demands for accepting a possible return to the Bernabéu.
Mourinho’s first condition is to have a say in decisions regarding positions to be reinforced in the transfer market, even if he does not directly choose the players who will arrive. The second is an even more stringent requirement: total power to impose discipline within the dressing room, without his authority being questioned by any player or official. These conditions reinforce previous reports indicating that Mourinho only wants to answer directly to Florentino Pérez, rejecting interference from other members of the club’s structure.
In light of the turmoil experienced by Real Madrid this season, it seems inevitable that Pérez will want to shake things up in the transfer market. This could include unexpected sales, with players who were previously considered untouchable being put up for sale. The lingering question is how many reinforcements the club truly intends to sign, as so far, even with the return of Mbappé, Pérez has been quite cautious with spending, limiting himself to investing in only one or two young talents per season.
This possible return of Mourinho to Real Madrid could be the starting point for an era of profound changes at the club, where demands will be at their highest and tolerance for mistakes minimal. What is at stake is not only the recovery of the league title but also the reputation of one of the world’s greatest clubs.
