Real Madrid plans €150 million Portuguese signing as José Mourinho returns

President Florentino Pérez, freshly re‑elected at Real Madrid, announced the club is prepared to spend at least €150 million on a new star player. Media reports identify the target as a Portuguese international, though Paris Saint‑Germain have blocked approaches for midfielders João Neves and Vitinha, making the identity uncertain.

José Mourinho has been confirmed as the new manager, marking his second spell at the Bernabéu. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said he appreciates Mourinho’s direct style, recalling past clashes such as being benched after missing crosses. Courtois also expressed a desire to finish his career with Real Madrid, where his contract runs until 2027.
