Mourinho approves Konate, Dumfries signings for Real Madrid

Incoming Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has given the green light for the club to sign two defensive players this summer. LaLiga giants have agreed to sign Ibrahima Konate, who joined Liverpool as a free agent, and will activate Denzel Dumfries' €20million release clause at Inter Milan. "The Special One appreciates both and Real Madrid could try one more defensive signing if the right opportunity appears on the market," transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed on X. These moves come as Madrid needs defensive reinforcement following the departures of David Alaba and captain Dani Carvajal. Mourinho is reportedly eyeing another defensive player as he prepares to take over the team this summer, with the club focusing on strengthening their backline ahead of the 2026-27 season. Real Madrid's transfer strategy appears to prioritize experienced defenders who can contribute immediately to Mourinho's tactical approach.
