Real Madrid begins squad overhaul under José Mourinho ahead of 2026‑27 season

Spanish club Real Madrid is reshaping its squad for the 2026‑27 season under newly appointed manager José Mourinho, who took charge after Florentino Pérez was re‑elected as president. The club has already secured high‑profile signings including Bernardo Silva, Marc Cucurella, Ibrahima Konaté and Denzel Dumfries, while youth prospect Jan Diomande is expected to join the first‑team roster.

The rebuilding effort also anticipates several departures, with reports naming players such as Raúl Assensio, Gonzalo García, Franco Mastantuono, Brahim Díaz and Eduardo Camavinga as possible exits. In addition, the club’s academy is expected to provide opportunities for emerging talents like defender Diego Aguado, full‑back Jesús Fortea and midfielder Thiago Pitarch, who could see increased involvement this season.
