Real Madrid eye Schlotterbeck as affordable defensive anchor under Mourinho

Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing Borussia Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck to bolster their back line this summer. Mourinho is said to rate the left-footed centre-back for his ball progression, aerial threat and set-piece contribution, with a €50 million release clause presenting a relatively affordable option. The player's salary—around €10 million base, potentially up to €14 million with bonuses—would fit Madrid's wage structure, making Schlotterbeck a standout candidate amid the club's ongoing rebuild.

Madrid in Talks to Bring Mourinho Back as Coach

Real Madrid are in talks to appoint Jose Mourinho as their next head coach, with Florentino Pérez reportedly favoring the Portuguese and negotiations ongoing through his agent Jorge Mendes. While other targets—Mauricio Pochettino, Jurgen Klopp, Massimiliano Allegri and Didier Deschamps—have been discussed, Mourinho currently leads the shortlist; any move would hinge on Benfica releasing him for about €3 million, and the former Real Madrid boss is open to a return to a club where he won La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Supercopa.

Perez Poised to Bring Mourinho Back to Real Madrid as Arbeloa Replacement

Florentino Pérez is pushing to appoint Jose Mourinho as Real Madrid’s next head coach to replace Alvaro Arbeloa, with the decision resting with the club president. Mourinho, currently managing Benfica under a contract until 2027 with a break option, would reunite with Madrid after a trophy-filled spell from 2010–2013. The move is tied to rebuilding a trophyless phase for Madrid, but faces internal opposition due to Mourinho’s controversial past. Other names linked include Mauricio Pochettino, Didier Deschamps, and Jurgen Klopp, though Pérez will have the final say.
