Mourinho wants to take 2 Real Madrid players to his Fenerbahçe

Mourinho has his eye on two Real Madrid players for his team and wants to take them away immediately

José Mourinho is a highly recognized figure in the world of Madridism because of what his signing meant in those years. Obviously, since then his performance as a coach has declined, to the point of reaching Turkish soccer with Fenerbahçe. Now it seems that he has two clear objectives to take from the white team, and one of them is Brahim Díaz and to try to recover Arda Güler.

These moves could be quite negative for the Merengue team because it would weaken the squad in terms of bench depth. In addition, these players seem to have a more important role this season under Alonso. Therefore, letting them leave at this stage of the transfer market, with few replacement options, becomes very complicated.

The signings Mourinho wants

The Portuguese coach has an excellent relationship both with Madridism and, apparently, with Florentino Pérez. However, it is not enough to be able to take these two players with extremely interesting profiles for what Madrid needs.

In the case of the young Turk, he is starting to become increasingly important in the team at just 20 years old. In the last Club World Cup, he played all six matches that the white team had in the competition, with three goal contributions. In addition, he showed a vision of play that was strongly enhanced by the Spanish coach.

In the case of the Moroccan, the profile is a bit more of a substitute, being a player with very good ball control and 25 years old. Last season was somewhat complicated, but it is expected that he can have a more important role in this upcoming campaign. In addition, coming off the bench, the 14 goal contributions he had in 2,000 min. (2,000 minutes) are nothing to scoff at.

He will have to look elsewhere

Although these profiles would fit perfectly with what Mourinho wants for his team, for now he will not be able to find them at Real Madrid. However, he will surely find similar options in the market that may fit his needs better.
