Mourinho wants to make a splash at Real Madrid, he is asking for a signing that seems impossible

The Portuguese coach is trying to convince a Madridist player, although he won't have it easy

Mourinho doesn't seem to have forgotten Real Madrid after his time as coach several years ago. At least not when it comes to going to the market to try to strengthen his team. He already did so in the past by requesting Arda Güler, and now he wants another Madridist.

Mourinho would be willing to strengthen Fenerbahçe's attack with the signing of Rodrygo Goes. This is what sources from Türkiye, which Defensa Central has been able to confirm, claim. The Portuguese coach believes it would be a good addition to give more solidity to his project.

Taking advantage of Rodrygo's doubts about his continuity, he believes this is the best moment. The Portuguese coach knows the Turkish club can make him a very tempting offer. Without a doubt, it would be the addition of a star to his squad, which would give it a big boost.

But it doesn't seem like this is a deal that will be easy to complete this summer. The Brazilian doesn't see Fenerbahçe's project as a step forward in his career. For that reason, he prefers to stay at Real Madrid, fighting for minutes with Xabi Alonso.

Rodrygo prefers to move to the Premier League even though he doesn't have many options

Rodrygo's camp has leaked that right now he is indeed in favor of leaving Real Madrid. This is a change of stance, since their previous position was exactly the opposite. They see the Premier League as the preferred destination for the former Santos player.

We already know Tottenham are fighting hard to try to convince the Brazilian to sign. But it seems Spurs aren't a project that ends up being attractive to Rodrygo. However, he's starting to run out of options in the Premier League to play next season.

Arsenal would have ruled out signing him due to Rodrygo's high salary demands. Meanwhile, there's a move in the market that's also taking him further away from Liverpool. So, his continuity at Real Madrid seems the most appropriate at this time given the lack of interesting destinations.
