![]()
Fabrizio Romano confirms José Mourinho’s comeback on a two‑year deal, while Carvajal, Alaba, and Ceballos prepare to leave at season’s end — reshaping Madrid’s squad before the new era even begins.
1. José Mourinho confirmed as new Real Madrid manager
- Fabrizio Romano has given his trademark “here we go” confirmation that Mourinho is returning for a second spell at the club.
- He is expected to sign a two‑year deal and is tasked with restoring discipline and order in a squad seen as underperforming and problematic off the field
2. Three senior players set to leave the club
Romano reports that three major Real Madrid players will depart at the end of the season and will therefore not play under Mourinho:
- Dani Carvajal – leaving as a free agent
- David Alaba – leaving as a free agent
- Dani Ceballos – still under contract for one more year, but will also depart
None of the three is considered a troublemaker, but their exits will complicate Mourinho’s rebuilding task
3. Kylian Mbappé’s decision clarified
- Two reports confirm that a final decision has been reached regarding Mbappé’s future, though the article does not detail the decision in the visible text.
- Mourinho has reacted to Mbappé’s recent interview, where the striker addressed speculation about leaving and said the situation “hurts.”
