As the upcoming Real Madrid presidential elections approach, prospective managerial plans and squad reinforcement strategies have taken center stage in Spanish sports media, with widespread reporting detailing potential positional targets for a prospective new sporting project.
Presidential Elections Shape Real Madrid’s Sporting Horizon
With club presidential elections scheduled in approximately 15 days, prospective sporting projects are taking shape behind the scenes at Real Madrid, according to reports from outlets including Mundo Deportivo. Both prospective candidates, Florentino Pérez and Enrique Riquelme, are actively evaluating structures for the upcoming term.
Media reports indicate that in the event of a victory by Florentino Pérez, an agreement is reportedly in place for José Mourinho to assume managerial duties. That prospective commitment would span two seasons, featuring an option for an additional campaign tied to securing at least one La Liga title.
Identified Roster Needs and Target Positions
Despite the uncertainties surrounding the electoral outcome, reports from Diario AS highlighted by Mundo Deportivo outline a preliminary squad evaluation attributed to the Portuguese coach. The drafted outline identifies several specific positions targeted for reinforcement ahead of the new cycle.

The reported blueprint calls for the acquisition of one or two central defenders, alongside additions at right-back and left-back—with the latter position contingent upon the potential departure of Fran García. Furthermore, the plans emphasize bolstering the midfield with both a holding midfielder and a creative orchestrator, with the latter role deemed essential for the squad’s tactical balance.
