Real Madrid scrap plans to sign a new attacker; focusing on these two areas
Real Madrid have abandoned plans to sign a new attacker this summer, opting instead to integrate Endrick from his loan at Olympique Lyonnais as a key attacking option behind Mbappe and Vinicius. The club's transfer focus has shifted to strengthening the defense, particularly in the centre-back and right-back positions. This strategic shift comes amid expected changes in leadership, with Jose Mourinho reportedly close to becoming the new head coach.
- ▪Real Madrid are no longer pursuing a new attacker this summer, with Endrick set to return from his loan at Olympique Lyonnais.
- ▪The club's primary transfer priorities are now centre-back and right-back due to the departures of David Alaba and Dani Carvajal.
- ▪Antonio Rudiger has extended his contract until 2027, but recurring injuries to Eder Militao increase the need for defensive reinforcements.
- ▪Jose Mourinho is reportedly in talks with Real Madrid and may influence the club's upcoming transfer decisions.
