"Jose Mourinho is reportedly already thinking about Real Madrid transfer targets if he ends up returning to the Bernabeu as manager. The Benfica boss has been in talks over returning to Real Madrid for a second spell, according to the Athletic, and he'll surely be keen to make several changes to this squad. It's been a difficult season for the Spanish giants, and one particular area of concern seems to be in midfield."
"According to Fichajes, this has led Mourinho to look for Real to sign one of Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez, Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, or Newcastle's Sandro Tonali. Jose Mourinho wants more control in midfield Madrid have some fine midfield players, but they've struggled to adequately replace the quality of legendary duo Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Even if Fernandez and Mac Allister are not quite at that level, they are arguably more similar in playing style due to their ability to get on the ball and dictate play."
"Chelsea could also be open to selling Fernandez, which makes him a realistic target, so Los Blancos fans will no doubt keep an eye on how this saga progresses. Meanwhile, there are some doubts over Mac Allister's Liverpool future after comments from the player's father. The Argentina international has not yet spoken with another club, according to his dad Carlos, but he also hasn't discussed a new contract with Liverpool."
"The Reds ended up losing Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid last summer, so they might not be too keen on a similar situation here, but if a new deal still isn't in place then it surely has to be a possibility."
Mourinho is reportedly considering a return to Real Madrid and would likely seek midfield changes due to struggles replacing Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Potential targets include Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez, Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, and Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali. Fernandez is viewed as a realistic option because Chelsea could be open to selling him. Mac Allister’s future at Liverpool appears uncertain, with his father Carlos stating the player has not spoken with another club and has not discussed a new contract. Liverpool’s loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid raises concerns about another similar departure if contract talks do not progress.
