Mourinho's potential 'clear-out' at Real Madrid revealed
Major changes could be on the horizon at Real Madrid. Reports suggest that Benfica head coach José Mourinho may soon take charge of the 'Royal Club'. It is said that the Portuguese tactician has already begun analyzing the Madrid squad.
According to journalist Miguel Serrano of Defensa Central, Mourinho plans to part ways with Eduardo Camavinga if he takes the helm at Real Madrid. The source claims the Portuguese coach does not see the French midfielder as a key figure in his project.
It is reported that Mourinho wants to sell Camavinga and replace him with Wolverhampton midfielder João Gomes. With the English club relegated from the Premier League, the Brazilian's transfer is seen as a viable option.
The source emphasizes that Mourinho needs 'players he can fully trust'. In his view, Camavinga does not currently fall into that category. The Portuguese manager is known for valuing players who provide discipline, physical presence, and tactical execution in the center of the pitch.
Camavinga has made 43 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions this season, recording 2 goals and 1 assist. His current contract with the Madrid side runs until the summer of 2029.
According to Transfermarkt, Camavinga's market value is €50 million. Therefore, his potential sale could also be a significant financial decision for Real Madrid.
In short, if Mourinho truly returns to Real Madrid, serious squad changes are likely. Camavinga could leave, and João Gomes might become part of the new project. If 'The Special One' returns, some will stay and others will go — there is little room for sentimentality under Mourinho, only high demands.
