Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho is preparing for a sensational return to Real Madrid. Reports suggest he has already identified his first transfer target upon arrival. Mourinho wants Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand in his squad and has asked the club board to allocate 50 million euros for the transfer. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
Mourinho is planning not only to strengthen the squad but also to make serious changes to the coaching staff. According to reports, he wants to see club legend Toni Kroos as his assistant. The former German player is expected to act as the main bridge between the dressing room and the board.
Sporting head coach Rui Borges, speaking about the interest in Hjulmand, described it as natural. He emphasized that the Danish player's performance in recent seasons deserves the attention of the world's biggest clubs. The Lisbon club is expected to demand at least 50 million euros for its captain.
Alvaro Arbeloa has officially announced that he will leave his position at Real Madrid at the end of the season. This has paved the way for Mourinho's return. Florentino Perez is putting his faith in "The Special One" to lead the team back to the top after two seasons without a trophy.
This appointment is also significant ahead of the club's presidential elections. Perez hopes that Mourinho's new project will be successful to secure his position. The transfer of Hjulmand and Toni Kroos's new role could be part of these dramatic summer changes.
