Real Madrid are looking to sign FIFA World Cup breakout star Yan Diomande. They could also sell two stars this summer to make way for the Ivory Coast winger.
Los Blancos have reappointed Jose Mourinho as their new manager this summer. The Portuguese is looking to strengthen his squad after the Spanish giants had a trophyless 2025-26 season. They are looking to improve their attack, despite having the likes of Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have already made an offer worth €90 million + €10 million add-ons for Diomande. However, RB Leipzig has rejected it. They are expected to go in with another offer for the Ivory Coast winger.
Amidst this, according to ESPN, Los Blancos could sell at least one of Gonzalo Garcia or Endrick this summer. Mourinho will make the final decision on the future of both strikers.
Garcia came through the Merengues' academy and has made 51 appearances for them, scoring 13 goals and providing five assists. Meanwhile, Real Madrid signed Endrick from Palmeiras in 2024, but he's made just 40 appearances for them, contributing seven goals and one assist.
Endrick spent the second half of the last season on loan at Olympique Lyon, where he recorded eight goals and eight assists in 21 games. However, he started just two games at the FIFA World Cup for Brazil, as they were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Norway.
According to The Sun, Los Blancos are also interested in signing Rodri, who captained Spain to the FIFA World Cup triumph this summer. While his contract with Manchester City expires next summer, the Premier League giants will still demand a big fee of around £85 million.
Hence, to fund that transfer, Real Madrid are open to selling Aurelien Tchouameni this summer, according to the aforementioned report. The French midfielder's current contract expires in 2028. Manchester United are keen on signing him, having parted ways with Casemiro as a free agent.
Tchouameni joined Los Blancos from AS Monaco in 2022 for a reported fee of £68 million. He has made 195 appearances for them and also contributed seven goals and eight assists, winning multiple trophies. While Mourinho initially wanted him to stay, the club could sanction his move to raise funds.
