Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has identified two key areas in his squad that require reinforcement to fully meet his tactical demands. The Portuguese coach is prioritizing the acquisition of a left-footed center-back and a high-intensity versatile midfielder.
Alessandro Bastoni from Inter Milan has emerged as the primary defensive target. Reports suggest the Italian club may be open to a sale for a fee in the region of 70 million euros.
In midfield, plans have shifted after long-term target Rodri completed a move to Barcelona. Mourinho is now evaluating alternatives, with Atletico Madrid's Morten Hjulmand identified as a strong candidate. The Danish midfielder's versatility and work rate fit the specific profile the coach is seeking.
