Incoming Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, don tell the club say six players no dey im plans. According to Ramón Álvarez de Mon of Radio Marca, the players be Raul Asencio, Rodrygo Goes, Fran Garcia, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga and Franco Mastantuono. Mourinho don ask Madrid top executives to offload them before the new season kick off.
The six players don dey on the fringes of the first team for recent months and fit now dey set for the exit doors. Despite no officially dey the role, Mourinho don already give approval for the LaLiga giants to sign Ibrahima Konate as free agent from Liverpool. Madrid go also activate Denzel Dumfries €20 million release clause to land am from Inter Milan.
Franco Mastantuono future at Real Madrid appear increasingly uncertain after fresh reports suggest say incoming manager Jose Mourinho no see the young Argentine as part of im immediate plans. According to The Objective, Mourinho don already communicate im views to the club hierarchy and no dey count on Mastantuono for next season. The development represent significant setback for the teenager, wey arrive at Santiago Bernabeu amid huge expectations last summer but struggle to make desired impact during im first campaign for Spain.
The youngster bin dey considered one of the brightest talents for South American football when Real Madrid invest heavily to bring am from River Plate. However, after challenging debut season, questions already dey ask about the next stage of im development. The report claim say Mourinho want squad wey fit deliver immediate results and no dey ready to dedicate valuable first-team minutes to player wey im believe still require significant development. The Portuguese don communicate this to Real Madrid board, wey now dey explore the best pathway for the youngster growth.
While the club always view the Argentine as long-term investment, many fans bin hope to see more tangible signs of progress during im first year. Instead, adapting to demands of European football prove difficult. Understandably, patience around the player don start to wear thin for some sections of the fanbase, particularly given the size of investment wey dem make to secure im signature. Real Madrid, however, continue to believe for the player potential and no dey consider permanent departure, which be why loan move dey viewed as preferred solution by all parties.
For that regard, one destination stand out above the rest. As reported before, River Plate don express strong interest to bring their former star back to Argentina and don already contact Real Madrid to discuss possibility of loan agreement, although nothing don agree on the matter so far.
Once this Sunday presidential elections don take place, Real Madrid go announce Jose Mourinho return to the club, 13 years after im depart. There already plenty excitement from within the fanbase, particularly for the transfer window ahead. The club no dey waste time to back Mourinho, with the signings of Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan and Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool as free agent already close, as per reports.
When there be rebuild, outgoings just as important as incomings, so we fit expect players to depart Spanish capital this summer. Well, we fit get idea on five players wey fit leave. Indeed, as dey reported by journalist Ramon Alvarez, Mourinho no dey count on the following six first team players: Eduardo Camavinga, Rodrygo, Franco Mastantuono, Raul Asencio, Dani Ceballos and Fran Garcia. With the latter four, that no sound too surprising. However, with Camavinga and Rodrygo, e don raise some eyebrows – if true.
The Frenchman feel like the sort of midfielder wey the 63-year old like. Hard working, tenacious, team player, wey fit fill in for other positions with minimum fuss. Admittedly, e no don kick on as liked or expected, but e feel like the boss go rate am as player. As for Rodrygo, for similar reasons, e feel like Mourinho forward. E don always be team player. Somebody wey go do the running for two players. Somebody wey go play anywhere for attack wey dem ask am. And somebody wey dey chip in with goals for big games.
Im case particularly tough to judge, considering e suffer ACL injury couple months back, and e feel like e go do well if e return to pitch this calendar year. Perhaps, e be case of Mourinho feel say e no go return to im physical best when e return. Hard to say. Again, this all depend on the report being correct. There also talk say the Portuguese manager be big fan of Endrick, so perhaps e want am to complete the attacking quartet with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham. Even more than before, this go mean say no room for Mastantuono, so the report check out when e come to am. Still, at young age, e go feel risky to give up on am completely, so perhaps loan dey in order.
To go back to the other players – e bin report yesterday say the club dey close in on fee wey dem agree with Ajax for Ceballos, however talk today don suggest say the player himself no too keen, so that be one to keep eye on. E hard to see future for am or F. Garcia at the club.
