Kylian Mbappe even talk say Konate na very aggressive defender wey go make opponent feel like dem dey for rough night.
Cucurella, wey play key role for Spain wen dem win Euro 2024, dey expected to take left-back position. Dumfries, di Netherlands international, na di kind player wey fit play for Mourinho style—defensively solid and no too glamorous.
For centre-back, Antonio Rudiger go likely start alongside Konate. Rudiger, wey don sign one-year extension, be di kind defender wey Mourinho like—slightly unhinged and ready to die for di cause. But because of Rudiger age and injury record, Madrid fit still sign another centre-back. Riccardo Calafiori and Josko Gvardiol don dey mentioned for Spanish press.
