José Mourinho has initiated the process of assembling the squad for the upcoming season at Real Madrid. According to COPE journalist Arancha Rodriguez, the Portuguese coach has been conducting individual meetings with the players since his return to the Real Madrid bench on February 13. This structured approach allows Mourinho to gradually prepare the footballers who are returning from their national team duties following the World Cup, while simultaneously undertaking a comprehensive assessment of the overall squad depth during the pre-season phase.
The preparation efforts are focused on optimizing player roles and fitness levels ahead of competitive matches. In terms of squad movement, reports suggest that Franco Mastantuono and Raul Asensio are the two players most likely to depart temporarily. These potential loans are anticipated to provide the players with increased minutes on the pitch and valuable first-team experience outside the primary roster.
Notably, it has been confirmed that Asensio has already been granted a loan move. Conversely, Gonzalo Garcia appears set to remain a key component of the first-team plans for the upcoming campaign. Mourinho’s methodical preparation suggests a strategic approach to squad management, balancing the integration of returning stars with the development opportunities for younger players.
The coach’s intensive focus indicates a detailed blueprint for the Real Madrid team as they gear up for the new challenges ahead.
