Real Madrid ready to go all out for €100m midfielder wanted by Jose Mourinho

Real Madrid ready to go all out for €100m midfielder wanted by Jose Mourinho Despite having already completed four new signings, Real Madrid are still not done with incoming operations in the transfer market. The Merengues are still looking for a new center-back, and also want another midfielder. For the former position, they want a center-back, and have the likes of Nico Schlotterbeck , Alessandro Bastoni, and Ruben Dias in their sights. Meanwhile, for the midfield, they are considering a box-to-box option, with Mateus Fernandez, Ayyoub Bouaddi, and Enzo Fernandez being linked with them. However, according to a recent report from Diario AS , Jose Mourinho wants the Argentine midfielder above anyone else, and Real Madrid are going to do everything in their power to bring him to their team. Although not yet completely ruled out, the other two options are not as appealing to the Portuguese manager, who wants experienced, established players to strengthen his squad. Bouaddi is still only 18 years of age, and thus not a candidate, while Mateus Fernandez, who is 21, is now prioritizing a move to Tottenham, as he believes this would be a better move to continue his growth and development. Meanwhile, with his ability to cover a lot of ground and his leadership skills, the Argentine is a highly appealing candidate for Mourinho. His own desire to play for the Merengues might facilitate a move, but this operation would still be very difficult, as he would not come for less than €100 million, and Xabi Alonso is also counting on him for his new project. In such a context, it remains to be seen how this operation would go. With Real Madrid intent to get him, it would be hard for Chelsea to resist his departure, but still, they would not be too pressed for a sale as they have already gotten a significant amount for Marc Cucurella’s sale.
