José Mourinho has returned to Real Madrid for the 2026/27 season, and it’s already a busy summer.
Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Spanish defender Marc Cucurella from Chelsea for up to €60 million. That’s about £47.5m plus bonuses.
Reports say Mourinho is not done yet. Real Madrid are planning a big squad rebuild and are watching about 6 other top players.
27-year-old left-back Marc Cucurella is the first major signing of Mourinho’s second time at Madrid. He signed a 6-year contract until June 2032, with a big salary increase. He is hard-working, fit, and smart tactically. Mourinho needed a strong left-back.
He just played for Spain and brings top-level experience to help make the defense stronger.
With the left-back spot sorted, reports say Real Madrid are looking at more Premier League players for defense and midfield.
William Saliba (Arsenal) is one of the best center-backs in the world right now. He would make Madrid’s defense very strong.
Rodri (Manchester City) is a top Spanish midfielder that many big clubs want because he controls games well.
Mourinho is also looking to add better central midfielders and fast wingers to fit his style of play.
Last season was tough for Madrid. That’s why club president Florentino Pérez brought Mourinho back. The goal is clear: take Real Madrid back to the top of Europe.
Pre-season has started and transfers are happening. Fans are waiting to see which other big players will join at the Santiago Bernabéu.
