Real Madrid squad under Mourinho

Entities: Trent Alexander‑Arnold · Denzel Dumfries · Yan Diomande · Real Madrid · José Mourinho

Overview

In July 2026, newly reappointed manager José Mourinho was rebuilding Real Madrid after a season that fell short of the La Liga title and a Champions League quarter‑final exit. England right‑back Trent Alexander‑Arnold publicly expressed his admiration for Mourinho and his ambition to claim the starting right‑back role now that veteran Dani Carvajal had departed, despite competition from recent signing Denzel Dumfries.

By early August, Mourinho publicly praised Alexander‑Arnold’s fitness and performances, confirming the Englishman would vie for the position alongside Dumfries. The same period saw Real Madrid complete a high‑profile acquisition, agreeing to a €115 million transfer for 19‑year‑old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, signalling the club’s broader intent to strengthen the squad under Mourinho’s direction.
