Jose Mourinho begins Real Madrid cull As four players told to leave, and Camavinga…
Newly reappointed Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has reportedly deemed four first-team players surplus to requirements while remaining undecided on the future of French midfielder Eduardo Camavinga.
José Mourinho has wasted no time asserting his authority following his dramatic return to Real Madrid, initiating a ruthless summer squad clear-out.
The Portuguese tactician has formally notified a quartet of first-team fringe players to find new clubs before the upcoming season begins. Raúl Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Fran García, and Dani Ceballos are all surplus to requirements.
While Mourinho ruthlessly trims the squad, he has reportedly expressed immense faith in teenage playmaker Franco Mastantuono. The highly-rated Argentine prodigy looks set to feature in the manager’s immediate plans.
In contrast, the future of central midfielder Eduardo Camavinga remains shrouded in heavy uncertainty as the club prepares to navigate an intense, high-stakes summer transfer window.
Camavinga has firmly expressed his personal desire to remain at the Santiago Bernabéu despite receiving no selection guarantees from his new manager. Mourinho remains entirely coy about the French international’s long-term role within his tactical setup.
With the board backing the manager’s aggressive squad overhaul, several high-profile departures are expected to materialize in the coming weeks.
